Just a quick bit of fun. Having recently seen the opera Faust at The Royal Opera House and again (same production) in cinema, and with the Met Opera production due to be screened live in HD next month starring Jonas Kaufmann, was just thinking today who would feature in the perfectly cast production. For me, at the moment, I thiiiiink (lol) .....
Faust = Jonas Kaufmann - Vittorio Griggolo was
lovely but think Jonas may be even better
Valentin=Dmitri Hvorostovsky, well you just have to
put Dmitri into any Baritone role, there really is
no-one else who shines like Dmitri and he was
incredible in the ROH production
Mephistopholes=Bryn Terfel/Rene Pape-this is much more difficult deciding between
these Rene Pape was fabulous but I am sure Bryn would be also
Marguerite=Now here I am a little lost, for although Angela G did a good performance
but I am sure there must be someone out there better suited for this role (and eeekk,
that hideous blonde wig she wore) ...... will have to ponder some more on who can
fill the soprano role ....... OK, no more pondering, having seen The Met Opera
production with Marina Poplavskaya I am now convinced she would be the best in
this role
