'Free tickets for Met's Faust'

Details in Dave Itzkoff's "Arts, Briefly" item (below) from this past Friday's New York Times.

Free Tickets for Met’s Faust

Because Election Day isn’t infernal enough: The Metropolitan Opera will be offering 3,000 free tickets for its final dress rehearsal of Berlioz’s “Damnation de Faust,” an opera that has not been performed at the Met in more than 100 years. The tickets will be available on a first-come-first-served basis at the Met’s box office beginning at noon on Sunday. The final dress rehearsal will take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. The new production of “Faust,” conceptualized by Robert Lepage and conducted by James Levine, mixes live performances with video projections, and stars Marcello Giordani as Faust, Susan Graham as Marguerite and John Relyea as Méphistophélès. It opens on Nov. 7.
