Faust

Experience one of opera's most beloved and enduring masterpieces — Charles Gounod's Faust — performed on the legendary stage of Teatro alla Scala in Milan. This monumental production brings to life the timeless Faustian bargain, following a tormented scholar who sells his soul to the devil Méphistophélès in exchange for youth, love, and worldly pleasures. With soaring arias, lush orchestration, and the electrifying drama of Marguerite's tragic fate, Faust is a night at the opera that resonates long after the final curtain falls. Teatro alla Scala — La Scala — is not merely a venue; it is the spiritual home of opera itself. With its gilded tiers, opulent chandeliers, and centuries of legendary performances etched into its walls, attending a production here is a cultural pilgrimage unlike any other. The house's world-class orchestra, chorus, and international cast bring Gounod's score to life with an authority and grandeur that only La Scala can deliver. Every note reverberates through a space that has witnessed the premieres of history's greatest operas. Running across multiple evenings from October 20 through early November 2026, this production offers several opportunities to witness the magic. Whether you are a devoted opera aficionado or experiencing this art form for the first time, Faust at La Scala is an unmissable cultural event — a perfect fusion of sublime music, theatrical spectacle, and one of Milan's most iconic settings.
