A disappointing performance by Opera North

This new Faust makes for a thoroughly enjoyable evening

A Wall St spin on Gounod's damned opera

Opera is more exciting than this

When the budget is this tight, you have to wonder whether a concert performance might do the job better

Peter Auty takes the title role with eloquence and assurance

Stuart Stratford’s conducting is distinguished

The fact that this production packs a punch is entirely due to Gounod

Opera North's staging of Gounod's Faust is ghastly

Classy vocal performances battle it out with spectacular visuals

Opera North may well have a controversy on their hands, though it's not an artistic success
