| Inhalt: |
| Forbidden love, wrongdoings and anguish: the Opernhaus Zürich ventures into late nineteenth-century French romanticism with Werther by Jules Massenet. A loose adaptation of Johann WoIfgang von Goethes epistolary noveI 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', the opera is conducted by Germanys CorneIius Meister. lt teIls the story of the impossible union of poet Werther to CharIotte, a woman of duty already promised to a wealthy businessman. Goethes drama is echoed in Massenets score by emotionaIly wide-ranging vocaI parts written on a grand scale. Juan Diego Flórez is undisputedIy one of the best beIcanto tenors of our times and embodies a tortured and nuanced Werther. 'lts not a profane appearance of any singer it is an epiphany!' gushes the Neue Zürcher Zeitung in a rave review. At FIórezs side, Franco-British mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany sang her roIe début as CharIotte. The one-room staging by Tatjana Gürbaca cIeverly makes the sociaI strangIehoId of oppression tangibIe. Recorded at the Opernhaus Zürich, ApriI 2017. |
