http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2010/02/sunday-classics-preview-faust.html
The piece is not the best part of Ken's direction, but the article comes up with the usual Ken bashing "This is what happens when you have a director too lazy, stupid, dishonest, or just plain contemptuous of the work he's staging".
You can see the imagery from the opera here

You can get it on DVD, recommended.
