Yet another Faust in Paris

Philippe Fénelon is a French composer [born in 1952], who learned his job from Messiaen [among others], who's apparenty quite prolific [Yours Truly never heard any of his work though], and who's the author of this new Faust, premiered last night at Palais Garnier in Paris [NB the production is of course not new; was premiered in Toulouse three years ago].
