Faust was my first encounter with opera a few days ago. I was excited. But this performance is the one I watch again and again. Thank you!

[@aliciarealp]

Ghiaurov is Mephistofeles. Always he is.

[@samcotten2416]

Always thought of Méphistophélès as a bigger voice, but Erwin Schrott has changed my mind! I LOVE him in this role! He’s spectacular!

[@samcotten2416]

I think he’s a bass-baritone - he does Leporello and Escamillo.

Wonderful interpretation but lacking the voice required for the role. A true bass is sorely missing.

[@paoloardisson2895]

U may be right. A bass is more a 'satanic' type of voice i saw this production with Tomlinson as Mephistopelis and he was brilliant but i would not discard this one

[@Un_Gordo_De_Derecha]

​@@paoloardisson2895I can, the lack of bright in the high notes tells you that he is probably and undeveloped baritone, or even worse, a tenor.

Agreed, and his timbre is that of a baritone, not even a bass-baritone. His French diction is rather poor, too. "Lay voh door?" Oy vey!
