The Damnation of Faust by Berlioz was performed by Edo de Waart, with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and an international cast this past weekend. The concert performance of an opera has been a music highlight for Auckland audiences through the APO’s regular winter opera. For reviewer Rachel Hyde it was an absolute joy to hear the work performed by a seasoned conductor with high calibre singers and the orchestra on form.
