Jules Massenet created the opera Werther, when he was achieving great career successes and immensely inspiring the audience with his works. Both libretto, based on Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther and the music focuses on the suppressed emotions of the two protagonists, torn between the desire for happiness and the expectations of society. Werther is an opera of powerful music and magnificent arias and duets.
