2013 · Film
Released in 2013, Boito Mefistofele is a music film directed by Frank Zamacona, running about 140 minutes. “Not a new production but a touched up revival of the first rate original from several decades ago” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. The season kicks off with Boitos resplendent retelling of Goethes Faust, a monumental work of 'choral grandeur and melodic richness' (The New York Times) in one of the most impressive productions ever seen at the War Memorial Opera House. The cast includes Ramón Vargas, a tenor 'in ravishing voice' (Financial Times), as the philosopher who sells his soul to the Devil; the 'luminous, compelling' Patricia Racette (Washington Post) as the woman he desires; and, in the vividly menacing title role, the 'seductively malevolent' bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov, a 'fullbodied bass-baritone' renowned for his 'wonderfully evil portrayals' (The New York Times).
Who’s in it. Boito Mefistofele stars Ildar Abdrazakov as Mefistofele, Ramón Vargas as Faust, Patricia Racette as Margarita and Nicola Luisotti as Conductor.
