Werther: Paris Opera
About the Event
Elīna Garanča sings the role of Charlotte in this production of Massenet's "Werther" at the Paris Opera, staged by Benoît Jacquot.
Although more than a century passed between the publication of Goethe's novel and Massenet's operatic interpretation, the composer captured the essence of the budding Romanticism and Sturm und Drang of Goethe's work.
In French, with French and English subtitles.
