The showing aims to make opera and ballet more accessible to audiences around the world with the performance being shown in cinemas across Australia this year.
Faust is an inspired drama about a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for youth, power and the love of Marguerite.

Faust forms part of the Royal Opera House's celebrations of ten years of cinema broadcasting in 2018 and of selling more than one million cinema tickets worldwide during the 2017/18 season.
