WERTHER

Public

Approved

Back in the Marseille pit, Victorien Vanoosten will accompany the thwarted love of Thomas Bettinger and Antoinette Dennefeld. A new lease of life for Werther.

 

Thunderbolt ! Werther declares himself to Charlotte. Lost sentence: against her own feelings, the orphan will stick to the promise made to her mother to marry Albert. Desperate, the rejected him himself shortened his sufferings with a pistol shot. Not that at the Opéra-Comique? "We will discuss it again," said the director Carvalho before seeing his theater go up in smoke. Massenet therefore has time to refine his work, which was finally premiered in Vienna. Where the author of Manon, indebted to Gounod, also recalls that he does not hate Wagner.
