Description:

Desperate to regain the vitality of youth -- and with botox yet to be invented -- the aging philosopher "Faust" sells his soul to the devil and sets out to woo the lovely and innocent Marguerite -- only to discover the diabolically high price he's paid for his immortality. Known for its famed "Jewel Song," this operatic thriller from Charles Gounod has left audiences spellbound since its Paris premiere in 1859, and comes to the Washington National Opera stage at the Kennedy Center in DC as a storybook-themed extravaganza.
