Werther : a performance guide

Werther: A Performance Guide Mary Dibbern, Head of Music at Minnesota Opera from 2009-2012, has created a Performance Guide for Jules Massenet's opera Werther. Her sixth contribution to the Vox Musicae series presents a word-by-word translation and IPA transcription of the French libretto and traces its development from Goethe's first great novel, The Sorrows of Werther. Anne Bessand-Massenet, the composer's great-great-niece, has provided a newly authenticated timeline of Massenet's life for inclusion in the book. Another feature is an exclusive interview with tenor James Valenti and original illustrations from the Minnesota Opera new production (2012) by Mike Reed. This well-rounded volume is designed for use by singers, vocal coaches, conductors, producers and directors, as well as opera-lovers.
