A new staging for San Francisco Opera on an existing physical production by Robert Perdziola with Patricia Racette, Stefano Secco and John Relyea.




“INGENIOUS…the production of Faust now at San Francisco Opera features s direct, ingenious and de-sentimentalized staging by Jose Maria Condemi, a young Argentine-born director who makes no mistakes”



David LittleJohn (Wall Street Journal), Jun, 23, 2010


“GENUINE NEW LIFE…This production directed by Jose Maria Condemi brings the piece to genuine new life….it woke me up to the great beauty and dramatic power of the work. Do make it to the Opera House to see for yourself”



John Bender (San Francisco Classical Voice), Jun, 5, 2010


“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…Faust has suffered over the decades with productions that have ignored or misunderstood the underlying dramatic strength of the work. There is something about this production that has bewitched and enchanted reviewers in the aggregate. If I were attempted to characterize this collective opinion, it would be: “Wow! the production designer, stage director and singer-actors have found things in this piece that we were not  aware were there!”…Condemi’s reworking of the ending gives us a more satisfactory sense of Divine Justice. I recommend it highly”



William Burnett (Opera Warhorses), Jun, 20, 2010


 “WITTY…the staging of director Jose Maria Condemi hews dexterously to the main points while studding the action with witty asides”



Joshua Kosman (San Francisco Chronicle), Jun, 7, 2010
