Visions
Werther, The Opera
Based on Goethe's
romantic novel
which swept Germany by storm
launching the Romantic Movement,
Massenet's musical genius,
of which the world is not worthy,
is fully employed
in a lyrical masterpiece
which utterly transports me!
Such beauty! Such pathos!
He really outdid himself,
surpassing even his magnifiscent Manon!
Ah! So sad! Ah! So moving!
It plumbs the tragic depths
of the longing of the human heart,
which only the glories of Heaven
can actually fulfill!
