The Sabbatini Will Sing - A Leading Singer For Werther:
The Third Opera in the Well-received Massenet Series
Werther has taken its part this time as the third opera production
at the NNTT, following Don Quichotte in 2000 and Manon in
2001 in this well-received Massenet series. Based on Die Leiden des jungen
Werthers (The Sorrows of Young Werther) by the great German writer Goethe,
the tragic love between the sensitive young Werther and the virtuous Charlotte
is lyrically and aesthetically portrayed with Massenet's music. Werther
- stylish, passionate, but delicate and also fragile - is a difficult role
that requires a singer capable of expressing various complex feelings.
In particular, the drama comes to its peek as Werther heartily sings "the
Ossian's song", with his soul fully rendered to the Ossian's poems.
For the forthcoming performance in the NNTT, Sabbatini will do come and
perform on stage again. He has been highly praised for his works such as
the role "chevalier des Grieux" in Manon, and his this
world- renowned role, " Werther".
The young poet Werther is passionately in love with Charlotte, but is driven
to despair when discovering her engagement to Albert, which was what Charlotte's
mother had wished when she was alive. Being rejected by Charlotte, Werther's
passionate and ever lasting love suffers so much as to finally take his
life. |
