Meet the team behind Faust at Cork’s Everyman

After previous triumphs, expectations are high for this year’s opera at the Everyman. The team behind Faust are confident they can fulfill them, writes Jo Kerrigan

A NEW production of French composer Charles-François Gounod’s classic opera, Faust, itself a version of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s drama, is on the way to the Everyman in Cork.

It’s not the first time the theatre and Cork Operatic Society have joined forces — Pagliacci in 2012, Orpheus in 2013, and Der Vampyr in 2014 were all huge successes, not least for their inventiveness and adventurousness — but Faust looks like being something else again.
