WERTHER, an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet (1842-1912), found its inspiration in a novel by Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther, which in turn based its story on the actual suicide of a young man haunted with adoration for a married woman. First performed on February 16, 1892 in Vienna, it quickly reached the stage of the Theatre Lyrique in Paris but faltered due to its serious subject matter. The growing success of Massenet's opera Manon allowed it to be introduced to Germany. From there, it achieved fame in opera houses across the world. In the third act, Werther sings Pourquoi me réveiller? (Why do you awaken me, oh breath of spring?), contrasting his blissful realization that Charlotte has accepted his love with the impending realization that their happiness cannot last.

His 'Méditation' has almost become a 'hit', his operas 'Manon' and 'Werther' are part of the repertoire of all major opera houses and yet the composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) has remained rather unknown up to now. But this is going to change: On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Massenet's death, Stefan Schmidl presents the first biography of this grand seigneur of the French opera in the German language. He shows that Massenet's compositions were a lot more complex than 'Manon' and 'Werther' suggest and presents a new view of the music history of the 19th and early 20th centuries.Stefan Schmidl is a research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Apart from teaching and lecturing activities, he has published papers on topics in musicology, cultural science and media science. Text in German.
