Exeter Opera Group is delighted to present a semi-staged performance of J. Massenet’s Werther at St Nicholas Priory, Exeter, on Saturday, 27 November 2027.
Based on Goethe’s famous novel, Werther tells the moving story of the passionate young poet Werther, whose deep love for Charlotte leads to one of opera’s most touching and tragic romances. Renowned for its beautiful melodies, emotional intensity, and rich orchestral writing, Werther is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of French opera.
This special performance will feature outstanding soloists, with Robert Felstead as Werther and Iryna Ilnytska as Charlotte. Performed in the original French with piano accompaniment, the opera’s intimate setting at St Nicholas Priory will allow audiences to experience the drama and emotion of Massenet’s music at close quarters.
Exeter Opera Group is proud to bring this celebrated work to Devon audiences and looks forward to sharing an unforgettable evening of opera with both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Doors at 7pm for a 7:30pm start.
