The legend of Faust has been retold in countless ways over the centuries and while five versions are known to exist, Faust always sells his soul to the Devil for unlimited knowledge and a lifetime of worldly pleasure! Under the baton of Maestro Guillermo Figueroa, with choral direction by Carmen Flórez-Mansi, Hector Berlioz’ légende dramatique, La Damnation de Faust, is not to be missed! One of Berlioz’ most striking works, La Damnation de Faust was inspired by the composer’s reading of the first translation of Göethe’s Faust into French. Likely to sell out in advance, this grande season finale will showcase the full Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus plus an all-star cast of four seasoned professionals and familiar faces from the opera world: mezzo-soprano Maire Therese Carmack; tenor Joseph Dennis; and bass-baritones Brandon Cedel and Christopher Humbert, Jr.

Carmen Flórez-Mansi leads The Santa Fe Symphony Chorus in a spectacular—and free—community concert. Enjoy beautiful choral music at the iconic Cathedral-Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in downtown Santa Fe and be inspired by The Symphony Chorus, The Symphony Chamber Singers, The Symphony Choral Scholars, The Symphony Chamber Ensembles and members of our newly formed Youth Choruses. All ages welcome, no tickets required. Doors open at 6:15 PM.
