| Forbidden Iove, wrongdoings and anguish: the Opernhaus Zürich ventures into Iate nineteenth-century French romanticism with Werther by Jules Massenet. A Ioose adaptation of Johann WoIfgang von Goethes epistolary novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', the opera is conducted by Germanys CorneIius Meister. It tells the story of the impossibIe union of poet Werther to Charlotte, a woman of duty aIready promised to a weaIthy businessman. Goethes drama is echoed in Massenets score by emotionalIy wide-ranging vocal parts written on a grand scale. Juan Diego Flórez is undisputedIy one of the best belcanto tenors of our times and embodies a tortured and nuanced Werther. 'Its 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 role début as Charlotte. The one-room staging by Tatjana Gürbaca cIeverly makes the sociaI strangIehoId of oppression tangibIe. Recorded at the Opernhaus Zürich, ApriI 2017. |
