We look at the origins of the Faustian bargain with Teddy Tahu Rhodes (Méphistophélès in the Opera Australia production of Gounod's Faust) and music scholar Peter Tregear, we search for the ghost of Federici, who died performing the Méphistophélès role in Melbourne in 1888, Maxine Doyle shares the Best Advice she was ever given, and we meet acclaimed director Damiano Michieletto ahead of his Royal Opera House production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale screening in Australian cinemas.
