WERTHER« Werther a causé plus de suicides que la plus belle femme du monde », écrivait Mme de Staël. De fait, le premier roman de Goethe Les Souffrances du jeune Werther, publié en 1774, constitua pour toute une génération un choc littéraire et esthétique, préfigurant le romantisme. Composé un siècle plus tard, à la fin du XIXe siècle, l’opéra de Jules Massenet s’inspire du roman et décortique le sentiment amoureux. La passion fatale entre Werther et Charlotte s’incarne dans une musique lyrique tour à tour mélancolique ou fougueuse, marquée par le célèbre air « Pourquoi me réveiller, ô souffle du printemps ? ».Sommet de l’opéra français, l’ouvrage revient à l’Opéra national de Paris dans une nouvelle production. Voulant redonner toute sa place à la forme épistolaire du roman de Goethe, Robert Carsen place la littérature au centre de sa mise en scène en inscrivant l’action dans une immense bibliothèque.
