Thank you very much for posting this super wonderful performance!!! I don't speak French but I can follow it on Google.

[@veilofreality6045]

When he sings Werther, he transports you to another world. Such a voice and energy, yet also sensitivity. It is the first time I understand Werther as someone who sees magic in things that other people don't notice.

[@kontrapunktsatzbau8597]

Florez is the definitive Werther for me. His performances have a transcendental quality about them, he makes the character shine with many facets.

[@gretevelharticky292]

Ich war erfreut, als ich heute Vormittag zufällig den Werther aus Bologna auf meinem Computer entdeckte. Ich kenne die DVD aus Zürich schon länger und hatte daher kein Problem mit dem Text.Da Juan Diego Florez mein Lieblingstenor ist war ich begeistert. Er ist so ein leidenschaftlicher Sänger und fantastischer Schauspieler, mein ganzer grauer einsamer Tag ist gerettet. Vielen,vielen Dank aus Wien.

[@simonchausse11]

JDF is a beautiful artist all the way. Florez gives one of the most poetic and sublime interpretation of Werther. He is Werther. This production gives back the chamber opera vision of Massenet. Very smart “modern” staging with great respect. It is also wonderful to hear both male leads, JF Lapointe and JDF with such good French diction.

simon chaussé An i Must say, this Regie of Bologna Is much better than Zürich, also The final Scene was Amazing 🎵🎵🎵

[@freesienundrosen8726]

Thank you for uploading this, I already loved JDF's Werther from 2017 in Zurich, but didn't know this version, which is also amazing. JDF captures magic and gives it to people, not only is he vocally outstanding, he really owns the part. When he sings something, it feels true, you really get the emotion and the reality of the character. A gift that has become rare these days, many singers just deliver the notes, but when he sings, there is an instant connection coming across. Isabel Leonard is also such a gift!

[@simonchausse11]

freesien undrosen indeed here is a singer who is involved with as much integrity possible to get through a performance.

[@dieterflorian865]

Compliment at Sign. Rosetta Cucci too as stage direction, great working 🎶🥰🎶

This was a very Great and Amazing Performance, Regie and The Stage Arrangement was Perfect. Juan Diego as Werther Is Not only a Perfect Singer also a Perfect actor, Great compliment to You 🎵🎵🎵 this Production was much better at this one in Zürich/Swiss Thank You Bologna 🎵🎵🎵

[@misssophie6515]

Two absolutely fantastic singers, bravi! What a pity they didn't make a bluray, I am happy it is accessible, so I won't complain too much, but if they made a high-quality recording it would be a Werther for the ages.

Bravo

[@ameliabortolozzo6809]

Me gustaría verlo en el televisor poder apreciarlo mejor !!

[@Chilinessa]

A very good production and an excellent cast. If they could only record it in a more sophisticated manner. Why just one camera and no close-ups? Subtitles in English would also help.

[@freesienundrosen8726]

Have you already seen the rendition with JDF from 2017 in Zürich? This was an incredible performance as well and it is available on bluray, so you have subtitles and high quality audio and close ups as well. I enjoy that one regularly. I just wish they also made a bluray of his Werther last year (in London, once again with Isabel Leonard as Charlotte).

Sottotitoli in italiano? Non rutti conoscono il francese!

[@paolograndinetti7609]

A prescindere dalla conoscenza dell'idioma i sottotitoli sono sempre necessari, almeno in lingua originale. I sottotitoli non sono altro che il "libretto" dei tempi recenti.

Wen Diego!

[@arepo]

How come JDF is wrong in everything with the exception of, maybe, Puritani? Not very wrong but nothing seems to fit well. Verdi, Massenet, even Donizetti and most Rossini. He isn't right even in Barbiere, but they have departed from the original decades before JDF began to sing it.

[@donaldbowers5205]

His voice is still too light. It cannot encompass the full range of emotions of this complex character.Listen to Kraus,Gedda,Corelli,Alagna.

[@hugoalvarez5477]

This is not a role for him. His voice is too light, he has tesitura problems all around and the phrasing lacks the passion the role is supossed to have. Compared to Alagna or Vargas this is nothing special... and it really doesn't resist comparison with historic performers such as Thill, Gedda or Kraus. Leonard, Lapointe and Iniesta give nice performances, however.

[@dieterflorian865]

Hugo Alvarez No, You Are Not in The right critic, He Is absolutely Perfect this difficile Role, good Singer And a good actor 🎵🎵🎵
