Opera by Jules Massenet

Drame lyrique in four acts
Text: Édouard Blau & Paul Milliet & Georges Hartmann after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Musical direction: Bertrand de Billy
Production: Andrei Serban

When young Werther sees how lovingly Charlotte, the daughter of an official, treats her little siblings, he falls madly in love with her. Charlotte also develops feelings for him, but has to reject him. She has promised her dying mother that she will marry her fiancé Albert. Werther cannot accept his fate and confesses his love for Charlotte again after her marriage to Albert. The growing affection between the two culminates in a tragic end: Werther takes his own life and Charlotte can only confess her love in the face of the dying man.
