Approvato

Werther by Jules Massenet –one of the most popular operas in the French repertoire– was written around a century after the epistolary novel by Goethe upon which it is based. The opera tells the story of a doomed love affair between the young Werther and Charlotte. When it dawns on Werther that there is no hope for their love, he takes his own life. Charlotte, who has realised the urgency of the situation, rushes to be by his side, reaching him a little before he breathes his last.

Just like Goethe’s Faust (which in opera form became best known in the version by Gounod), so too did Werther win over the opera world, set to music by Jules Massenet, the great French composer. Massenet’s opera –which skilfully captures both the poetic nature of the idealistic Werther and the prisoner to social convention that is Charlotte– enjoyed huge success in its own day; translated into numerous languages, the work would go on to influence everything from the mores to the fashions of its time.
