The Florida Grand Opera presents Massenet's tale of unrequited love. Overflowing with yearning and heartbreaking melancholy, Jules Massenet's most romantic tragedy is inspired by a true story of unrequited love originally penned by the genius of modern German literature, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Werther is the story of the idealistic poet of the same name who cannot love without love, and the object of his obsession, Charlotte. Massenet was celebrated in 2012 by the centenary of his death.
