A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...brand new 100-minute adaptation, sung in French with new English dialogues. A lonely scholar makes a bargain with the devil, and all hell breaks loose. Heartbeat Opera’s distinctly American adaptation tells the story of Faust and Marguerite — a man who wildly misuses his regained youth, a young woman whose potential for life and love is cut tragically short, and the ravaged community left in their wake. Retelling one of the most popular operas of all time, we ask what happens when the soul hasn’t evolved along with the mind? When voracious ego rules us, and reckless forward motion is all?

Original Libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré from Carré's play Faust et Marguerite
Co-Adapted by Jacob Ashworth and Sara Holdren
Newly Arranged by Francisco Ladrón de Guevara
