About This Movie
Gary Halvorson's 2014 production of Werther is a fascinating blend of drama and music, really capturing the emotional weight of Massenet's adaptation of Goethe. Jonas Kaufmann's portrayal of Werther is particularly striking—his voice carries that haunting longing that defines the character. Sophie Koch, making her debut at the Met, brings an elegant yet complex depth to Charlotte, who is caught in this tragic love triangle. The pacing feels very deliberate, allowing the audience to soak in the rich atmosphere created by the stunning set design and lighting. And let’s not forget Lisette Oropesa as Sophie, whose performance adds another layer of poignancy to the narrative. It’s a unique take on a classic story, delivered with such artistry.
