An original, fully staged theatrical concert interweaving drama with the music of Schumann, Schubert, Liszt, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler, and Pfitzner, based on Goethe’s tale of obsessive and unrequited love.

Written feverishly in a white heat of autobiographical inspiration, “The Sorrows of Young Werther” turned the 24-year-old Goethe into one of the first international celebrities. Napoleon read the novel seven times and carried it with him during his Egyptian campaign and it started a "Werther Fever" throughout Europe, with young men dressing as the protagonist and committing copy-cat suicides.

Werther's obsessive love of Charlotte emerges with great pathos in a haunting and romantic evening featuring Schumann’s magnificent song cycle “Dichterliebe,” one of the most compelling musical depictions of unrequited love, as well as songs for mezzo-soprano and two pianists mirroring the two main characters.

Written by James Melo based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s novella The Sorrows of Young Werther
