Werther suffers under social conventions and longs for freedom. No human relationships make him feel secure until he meets Charlotte, who‘s engaged to be married ... Goethe’s The Sufferings of Young Werther is regarded as the main work which went down in the history of literature as a byword for »sensitivity« during a wide-spread craze. Written in the form of letters, which ends in him committing suicide, it caused a scandal in the 18th century - and an entire generation started wearing the Werther’ish colours of yellow and blue. This Drame lyrique in four acts, which gives us a glimpse, in its dramatic climax, of “verismo” to come, is one of the most impressive adaptations of Goethe’s book. Director Willy Decker explores the discrepancy between the lovers' longings and reality, between hope and resignation in Wolfram Gussmann's abstract set.
