WERTHER Oper von Jules MassenetPremiere A: 16.2.2023Premiere B: 18.2.2023Musikalische Leitung: Anthony Bramall / Oleg PtashnikovRegie: Herbert FöttingerBühne...

Der berühmte Briefroman »Die Leiden des jungen Werthers«, in dem Goethe sich seine eigenen Erlebnisse von der Seele schrieb, löste nach seinem Erscheinen 1774 in ganz Europa eine Selbstmordwelle aus. Die für den Text bezeichnende Emotionalität wird durch die Musik von Jules Massenet, dessen »Werther« 1892 uraufgeführt wurde, zu noch größerer Intensität aufgepeitscht. Herbert Föttinger inszeniert die Oper als psychologisches Kammerspiel um erwachende Lebenslust und die Schwierigkeit, aus dem gewohnten Milieu auszubrechen.

Deutsch

The famous epistolary novel, “The Sorrows of Young Werther”, in which Goethe recorded his own experiences, triggered a wave of suicides across Europe following its publication in 1774. The text’s characteristic emotionality is whipped up to even greater intensity by Jules Massenet’s music. His "Werther” celebrated its world premiere in 1892. Herbert Föttinger stages the opera as a psychological intimate play about a nascent lust for life and the difficulty of breaking out of one’s familiar environment.
