A staged reading with live music of selected scenes from both parts of Goethe's Faust. Director Neil Wechsler has adapted the scenes, condensing Goethe's original work into an eighty-minute presentation. Nathan Heidelberger has composed a new chamber score, playing off the rich history of Faust-inspired music. The scenes encompass the entire arc of Goethe's masterpiece to capture the pitfalls, triumphs, and ambiguities of human striving.
