The performance by Marina P. was not in sync with the character of Marguerite until the final act.She lacked expression of passionate love for Faust , and both lacked chemistry, The seduction scene did not appear real to me.Her singing of the "Jewel" aria was flat,, certainly when compared to Renee Fleming. I also thought that the casting of Michele Losier as Siebel, instead of the strong voice of a male lead, was distracting. The use of a beautiful round face profile of Marguerite on the screen was inaccurate, after we saw the square jaw face of Marina P. The singing of Rene P. and Jonas K, as well as R. Braun were excellent and carried this production. I also liked the casting of Faust in the nuclear age and the final scene of redemption.
