Werther

Today I went to the Regio for Werther
Maddalena sings off the stage
Beautiful voices for tenor and soprano
Sugar sound but noisy brass
the stage is essential, modern design, but with some interesting choices such as the presence of Werther at the end of the third act separated all the others simulating to receive the weapons



I found Linda there, so I can sit since her frind does not come to the theatre.
Maddalena sings in the beginning and at the end of the opera
Always "Noel" for the children, while outside the drama of Werther drives him to death



At the end, I go to the artists' exit, where Maddalena asks Michel Plasson to sign the booklet of the old recordings of Wether he conducted in 1979 with Kraus and the London Philharmonic Orchestra
