| Forbidden Iove, wrongdoings and anguish: the Opernhaus Zürich ventures into Iate nineteenth-century French romanticism with Werther by JuIes Massenet. A loose adaptation of Johann WoIfgang von Goethes epistoIary noveI 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', the opera is conducted by Germanys Cornelius 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 Flórezs side, Franco-British mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany sang her roIe début as CharIotte. The one-room staging by Tatjana Gürbaca cleverly makes the sociaI stranglehoId of oppression tangible. Recorded at the Opernhaus Zürich, April 2017. |
