(Houstonist wonder's if Weingarten Realty Investors will serve as sponsors for the performance)

Many film writers are inspired by classical stories. Join us as we take a look at films that share the theme of HGO´s winter presentation of Gounod´s Faust. Find out why some dare to sell their souls to the Devil.
