More on Werther
Description from Wikipedia:
Werther is an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann based on the German novella The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Although Massenet wrote and completed his opera already in 1887, it did not receive any performance until it premiered at the Imperial Theatre Hofoper in Vienna on February 16, 1892, receiving such success that the French premiere followed the next year at Opéra Comique.
The United States premiere at Metropolitan Opera took place in Chicago on March 29, 1894, and then in the company's main house in New York City three weeks later.
Werther is regularly performed and has been recorded many times. By general critical conensus, the finest and most idiomatic performance on disc remains the January 1931 French Columbia recording of the complete opera, sung by Georges Thill, Ninon Vallin and Germaine Feraldy, and featuring the Paris Opera orchestra and chorus under the baton of Elie Cohen. In addition, many of the greatest French and Italian singers of the past century or more have recorded individual arias from Massenet's masterwork.
