New Production.

Massenet makes a simply story of impossible love intensely touching through gorgeous melodies, rich orchestration and a sure dramatic instinct. Paul Nilon is Werther, a man helplessly in love with a woman already promised in marriage to someone else. In the role of Charlotte, the object of his passion, is Alice Coote, one of the world’s greatest mezzo-sopranos. Opera North’s Music Director Richard Farnes conducts a new production of one of the supreme achievements of French romantic opera.

Conductor Richard Farnes.
Director Tom Cairns.

Sung in French with English titles.
