I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

The Utah Symphony Chorus and Utah Opera Chorus lend their voices to the work, which is an ingenious combination of opera and oratorio that ranks among Berlioz’s finest creations. In addition to the star power of Lindsey and Spyres who sings the role of Marguerite and Faust, three other operatic guest artists will join the cast, including Baritone Roderick Williams, whose talents have included appearances with all BBC orchestras, London Sinfonietta and the Philharmonia, performing Mephistopheles; and Bass- baritone Adam Cioffari, a former member of the Houston Grand Opera Studio. Newcomer Tara Stafford Spyres, a young coloratura soprano, just sang her first Mimi in Springfield Missouri’s Regional Opera production of La Bohème. La Damnation de Faust was last performed on the Utah Symphony Masterworks Series in 2003 as part of the company’s Faust Festival. TICKET INFORMATION Single tickets for the performance range from $18 to $69 and can be purchased by phone at (801) 355- 2787, in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office (123 W.
