Alejo Pérez conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir in this performance of Charles Gounod's opera at the 2016 Salzburg Festival. Piotr Beczala performs the title role with Ildar Abdrazakov starring as Méphistophélès and Maria Agresta as Marguerite.

Franz Welser-Möst conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Zurich Opera House in this performance of Johann Strauss's work filmed in 2001. David Poutney directs with Martin Zysset in the title role and the cast including Michael Volle, Elizabeth Magnuson and Piotr Beczala.

Live production from the Zurich Opera House of Verdi's tour de force. Jürgen Flimm's staging stays close to Verdi's intention, concentrating on the central characters, showing their instability, emotions, despair, love, sacrifice and tragedy rather than focussing on the actions of the Parisian society.
