List of Performances[edit]

I visited this page after listening to a radio broadcast of this opera, by the New York Met, recorded on March 15, 2014, yet it is not on the list of performances. Any reason for that? Is the list on the page intended to be as complete as possible? John D. Goulden (talk) 19:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, we can't list every performance of any opera, such lists would be gargantuan for frequently performed works. Only local premieres and historic revivals. Smeat75 (talk) 23:21, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Werther is an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann. It is loosely based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, which was based both on fact and on Goethe's own early life. This poster, designed by the Swiss artist Eugène Grasset, advertised the opera's first performance in France, which was given by the Opéra-Comique at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on 16 January 1893.

Intro section[edit]

The segment 'based both on fact and on Goethe's own early life' needs rephrasing slightly - it implies Goethe's early life is fictional. Jackiespeel (talk) 10:21, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
