In despair and disillusioned by old age, Faust calls on the devil to help. He is made an offer he cannot refuse by the wily Méphistophélès: wealth, youth, and the love of the beautiful Marguerite. But soon after, Faust's newfound happiness unravels, and his dream of love turns into a horrific nightmare...

Faust plays at the Royal Opera House. The large London theatre has five different levels of seating. Premium seats are in the orchestra stalls on the ground floor, and stalls circle one level up. Both areas offer clear views of the action. Moving further up, there is the grand tier, the balcony, and the amphitheatre. This area is high on the fifth level and possibly not ideal for those uncomfortable with heights or suffering from vertigo.
The elevated sections of the theatre are designed in a horseshoe shape that can feel a little bit distant from the stage but generally have clear views. When booking tickets in the slips, on either side, or boxes, it is advisable to check the seating plan before purchase as these seats feature side-on restrictions that could affect your enjoyment of the production.
This production is suitable for patrons aged 12+
3 hours 40 minutes (includes interval)
