A classic tale. A wild retelling.

A lonely scholar makes a bargain with the devil and all hell breaks loose. Heartbeat Opera’s distinctly American adaptation tells the story of Faust and Marguerite—a man who wildly misuses his regained youth, a young woman whose potential for life and love is cut tragically short and the ravaged community left in their wake. Retelling one of most popular operas of all time, we ask what happens when the soul hasn’t evolved along with the mind? When voracious ego rules us, and reckless forward motion is all?
