What’s On
Paisley Opera are excited to welcome you down to the Devil’s lair to experience Gounod’s lavish music drama, telling the story of a man who sells his soul to the devil.
Faust is a man who feels like he has wasted his life because he’s never known true love.
Luckily for him, the devil, called Mephistopheles, shows up at just the right time to grant him the gifts of love and eternal youth, all for the small price of spending the afterlife in the fiery pits of hell!
With the devil’s help, Faust managed to seduce the beautiful Margarita, but not everything goes to plan…
Paisley Opera’s unique spin on the Faust story is set in the town of Paisley in the near future, and has tragedy and comedy in equal measures thanks to their Paisley English translation full of local dialect.
We are very fortunate to be joined by an international cast of soloists including Thorbjørn Gulbrandsøy as Faust, Catriona Clark as Margarita and Nicholas Morris as Mephistopheles, as well as the esteemed Orchestra of Scottish Opera and vibrant local dance group right2dance.
Tickets are available through the Renfrewshire Box Office website or by phone on 0300 300 1210.
