A very special new-production and an outstandingly special role-debut are the last points of Lucian Krasznec’s highly successful five years as a member of the Dortmund Opera ensemble. Before proceeding to Munich the tenor is taking over the title-role of Charles Gounod’s opera Faust for the first time ever at his previous home-theatre. He understands this part as a step into his future intense engagement within the French repertory which also includes the role of Nadir in Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles to follow in Munich still within the current season.

Gounod’s Faust again sees Lucian Krasznec’s ideal vis-à-vis Eleonore Marguerre as Marguerite at his side, the two of them having already been closely conjoined by outstandingly successful Dortmund-productions: Cosi fán tutte, L’incoronazione di Poppea, The Abduction from the Seraglio, Don Giovanni and La Traviata last season. The Dortmund Faust-opening is taking place on September 17th, 2016. You will find further information and all performance dates under this link.
