Gounod's Faust was the most successful opera of its time, reaching Covent Garden in 1863, four years after its Parisian premiere, and quickly becoming a favorite of Victorian audiences In 2004 Faust returned to The Royal Opera's repertory with a flourish: David McVicar's brilliantly theatrical production, played out in the Paris of the Second Empire, has given its familiar melodies, grand ensembles and epic central struggle between good and evil a new lease of life The downfall of Faust, the philosopher tempted by the demon Mephistopheles, and the terrible consequences of his tainted love of the innocent Marguerite and her brother Valentin are charted with insight and theatrical bravura With its devilish presentation of the Cabaret L'Enfer, where Gounod's famous Waltz brings the second act to an eye-catching climax, this production reclaims Faust for the 21st century]]>

La Boheme--which talks of the fragile nature of happiness in a world of poverty, cold, and disease--is an example of the 19th century trend toward social realism in art In Puccini's signature opera, however, the aesthetic of Verism--the Italian equivalent of the French Naturalism of Emile Zola--becomes more sentimental, and the brutality of social reality is depicted less crudely than elsewhere Four young artists live out their everyday lives amid dreams and disappointments, waiting for the event that is to win them renown, but poverty and misfortune deprive the leading characters, Mimi and Rodolfo, of the joy of mutual love]]>

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum presents the Mithraic Mysteries, a 35-minute planetarium show Of the many riddles left to us by antiquity, none is more intriguing than that of the ancient Roman religion known as the Mithraic mysteries The teachings of this ancient Roman "mystery religion" of Mithraism were guarded with the utmost secrecy, revealed only to select initiates While the Mithraists never wrote down their secret doctrines, they did leave a key to them in the arcane iconography, which filled the walls of their underground temples Until now, all attempts to decipher this iconography have proven fruitless Most experts have been content with a vague hypothesis that these images somehow derived from ancient Iranian religion In a groundbreaking work, Dr David Ulansey has recently offered a radically different theory He argues that Mithraic iconography was actually an astronomical code, and that the cult began as a religious response to a startling scientific discovery The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum presents his theory of the mysteries concealed in Mithraic temple carvings that could reveal the central secret of the cult: a secret consisting of an ancient vision of the ultimate nature of the universe]]>
