Faust, Monaco Dance Forum’s latest ballet

The Dance Festival’s closing ballet will be performed from 27 to 31 December at the Grimaldi Forum.
A dark, disturbing figure with long fingers, a beautiful and innocent young woman, and an old scientist, who is intelligent but ready to make a deal with the devil… You will no doubt have recognised the characters of Mephistopheles, Marguerite and Faust, the protagonists in the German myth, told in particular by Goethe and Marlowe: Faust.

Set to Franz Liszt’s choral symphony, the ballet performed by the Monte-Carlo troupe and choreographed by Jean-Christophe Maillot promises both poetry and intensity. The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Monte-Carlo Opera Choir, conducted by Igor Dronov, will accompany the dancers.
The ballet concludes the Monaco Dance Forum, which began on 10 December and thrilled the audience with six other shows: 7 Sins, Swayambhu, Igra, Sonoma, Noces and Opus 40.
The Dance Festival, created in 1998 thanks to the Princess of Hanover, Jean-Christophe Maillot and the former director of the Grimaldi Forum, Stéphane Martin, aims to provide the public and dance professionals with a space for artistic expression and discussion.
