Antonio Pappano conducts Massenet's opera of grand passion and devastating tragedy. Werther returns to the Royal Opera House stage for Summer 2023. #RoyalOpe...

Werther – 'Air des lettres' aria (Joyce DiDonato, The Royal Opera)

It was her mother’s dying wish that Charlotte marry Albert. But when she meets the poet Werther, she is plunged into a world of love – and pain – that she never knew existed. Torn between family duty and an overwhelming passion, will she be true to her husband – or her heart’s desire?

Massenet’s music contrasts heady Romanticism with elegant restraint, while Benoît Jacquot’s production delivers period-perfect moonlit trysts, stolen glances and gunfire at dawn. Antonio Pappano conducts an all-star cast including Jonas Kaufmann and Aigul Akhmetshina.
