Charlotte, on her mother’s deathbed, promised herself to Albert. But when the melancholy poet Werther escorts her to a ball, and Albert returns home unexpectedly, some troubling emotions begin to take hold…

Massenet’s tragic masterpiece, based on Goethe’s Sorrows of the Young Werther, is a passionate and thrilling tale of forbidden love.

This scintillating new production, created especially for Grimeborn 2014, includes original costumes by designer Bora Aksu. It is directed by Aylin Bozok, who was voted Best Newcomer in the 2013 WhatsOnStage Opera Poll for her production of Pelléas et Mélisande at last year’s Grimeborn festival:
