Werther [opera]

Four act opera by late French composer Jules Massenet, set to a libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann. The story is based on the novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' by German writer/ poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

"Werther is a story of impossible love, binding promises and missed opportunities.

Set in Germany, Werther is a passionate young poet who has fallen in love with Charlotte, the eldest daughter of a local family. Having made a promise to her dying mother, Charlotte is already betrothed to another man. Despite this, the young Werther cannot let go of his feelings for her, which sets the scene for this poignant tale of heartbreak and tragedy."
