Werther: Werther Massenet

Public

Approved

On 5 December tenor Stéfan Louw will be producing yet another mini-opera at the Roodepoort Theatre:  The Tragedy of Werther.

An adaptation of the music from Werther (Massenet) and text from The sorrows of young Werther (Goethe) comes together in a two-act opera that is long enough to tell the complete story of the young poet’s life but short enough to capture the attention of opera connoisseur and new-comer alike.

The role of Werther will be performed by Louw himself with mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Lombard in the role of his lover, Charlotte.  They will be accompanied by a narrator and the ever-faithful orchestra in the form of pianist Eugene Joubert.
