In the video below watch The Met Orchestra, Chorus, and Children's Chorus perform an excerpt from the choral finale in the final dress rehearsal. Conductor: Edward Gardner.

Saturday afternoon saw the return of Berlioz's DAMNATION OF FAUST to the Met, not seen there since 2009. Because of logistical considerations it was mounted in concert form on the stage rather than in Robert Lepage's previous staging. The concert style proved to be an extremely effective format for what Berlioz called a 'legende dramatique', a work that did not neatly fit into either the opera or oratorio category.
