The rarely performed gems of Faust et Hélène by Lily Boulanger and L'heure espagnole by Maurice Ravel are brought together for an unforgettable evening of entertainment and music. Staged by renowned director John De los Santos, with Musical Direction by international conductor Kamal Khan, this is a double bill like no other. Victor sings the role of the doomed lover Faust, followed by a comic turn as the playful Gonzalve. Opera News writes "Tenor Victor Khodadad gave a dramatic performance as Faust, convincingly illustrating his intense ardor for Hélène. ... New Camerata’s production allowed the three singers from the Boulanger to show their versatility by appearing again in primary roles....Khodadad gave a comic portrayal of the pretentious, solipsistic lover Gonsalve".
