a rave opera
Club Faust creates a music-theatre journey through the life of Faust and his world. It shows us the searching and yearning man. Who are we? Where are we headed? Is there a way out?
LIKE A DIABOLICAL TORNADO
Singers, dancers, musicians and performers occupy the stage and the entire theater, and take you with them in a whirlwind of emotions.Of course we’ll hear the familiar Faust numbers by Schubert, Gounod and others. But modern musical and artistic techniques, from electronics to dance, are also part of this aural Faust world. And just as with Goethe, the drama is narrated through poetry, in the form of spoken word.
‘With such talents, the future of opera in The Netherlands looks bright.'

Welcome Faust, to the 21st century!
For Club Faust, Dutch National Opera, Dutch National Opera Studio and Silbersee transform DeLaMar Theater into a unique venue. They revive Goethe’s Faust through music, word and movement.
The story that so captivated the young Goethe is confidently presented here by a young cast. In putting on this vibrant evening, Silbersee and conductor Romain Bischoff are joined by classically-trained singers from Dutch National Opera Studio, instrumentalists and percussionists, composers, DJs, and the young Dutch stage director Belle van Heerikhuizen. They’ll turn Club Faust into a modern Walpurgis rave.
