This will be a pleasant way to end the week, with a relaxed evening of German Romantic chamber music. The event is informal, with unreserved seating in the handsome mid-19th century church of St Peter's, Belsize Park. I'll arrive early, and post in the comments where I'm sitting and what I'm wearing. The concert will last around 90 minutes, with a 20 minute interval. Wine will be available in the interval, and probably again afterwards - or we can go to a nearby pub, as attendees prefer.
- Gounod's Faust @ The ROHRoyal Opera House, London
*You will need to purchase a ticket in order to attend this event - see below*
Join us at the Royal Opera House for a performance of David McVicar's production of Gounod's classic opera.SYNOPSIS
Disillusioned with old age, Faust calls on the devil in despair. The wily Méphistophélès makes him an offer he cannot refuse: youth, wealth and the beautiful Marguerite. But before long, Faust's newfound happiness starts to unravel, and the dream of love turns into a nightmare...Approx performance time: 3hrs 40mins, with one interval.
TICKETS

After the show, we'll congregate in the Bow Street foyer next to the statue in the centre of the room before heading off for a drink, (probably at The Craft Beer Co on Endell Street - other drinks are available there!).I will be providing updates in the comments section of this page on the day itself.
