REVIEWS

A magnificent 'Faust' staged by West Bay Opera, 
by John Orr

"In this production, ideated by stage director Ragnar Conde, Faust is an old, failed, genetic scientist in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, with survivors living among the scrapped, dysfunctional detritus of abandoned power plants.... The old Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto may never have been more effectively filled with imagery."

West Bay Opera delivers triumphant Faust
by Adam Broner

"The excellent conducting of general director José Luis Moscovich, whose insight into Charles Gounod’s music inspired the whole – including an energetic army of volunteers – combined with the post-apocalyptic re-visioning of video artist Frédéric O. Boulay, stage director Ragnar Conde and set designer Peter Crompton for a perceptive and arresting update of a classic. And that underpinning launched an excellent cast, some of whom have already appeared on world-class stages such as the SF Opera, the Met, and the English National Opera.".
