| 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 novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', the opera is conducted by Germanys Cornelius Meister. It tells the story of the impossibIe union of poet Werther to Charlotte, a woman of duty aIready promised to a wealthy businessman. Goethes drama is echoed in Massenets score by emotionally 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. '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 role début as Charlotte. The one-room staging by Tatjana Gürbaca cIeverIy makes the social strangIehoId of oppression tangible. Recorded at the Opernhaus Zürich, April 2017. |
