Fabulous. !

Fabulous. What a combination of Matthew Polenzani and lina Garanca

[@wuslon8]

It occurs to me that this is the first opera Elina Garanca sang after her mother`s death in July 2015. She told an interviewer that she was scheduled to do it earlier but could not bring herself then to sing the first act, where Charlotte speaks about her dying mother. She also said that Charlotte was supposed to close Werther`s eyes after his death. But she asked Matthew Polenzani to shut his eyes at the end. She had closed her mother`s eyes and just could not do it.

That part in her book made me cry. The book is so touching and beautiful. But her mother's death was the hardest part of the book.

Wow!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!! Simply amazing singing!!!!!!!!!! Bravo POLANZENI and ELENA💟💟💟

[@Leslie9250]

WOW! So glad to be able to watch this.

I like to see Matthew Polenzani and Elina playing lovers on stage. They are so warm and cozy together.

[@ilanamoor3053]

Very good performance , thanks to the video ! So beauty duet Elina and Matthew Polenzani! Bravo !

[@hummarstraful]

If you're a fan of Elina READ HER BOOK! It is deeply personal and beautiful. I couldn't put it down and I didn't want it to end! It's in German but you can use Google image translate to read it in whatever language you want. That's what I did to translate it into English.

Can I just say Matt is exceptional? And I’m a Frenchwoman who usually thinks only French tenors sing Werther properly

[@cashelnd]

I recommend viewing this with the 2005 performance of the same production, available on DVD. Garanca is Charlotte in the earlier production, and it is fascinating to see, and hear, how her sense of the role has evolved in subtle and telling ways. The stage business has also changed in interesting details. Marcelo Alvarez is the Werther in the earlier production; a persuasive performance, with strengths different from Polenzani's, who is wonderful here.

We saw this as last season performance in 2006, 30th june, with Haddok as Werther. She was really one of best Charlotte I saw

[@livrowland171]

Matthew Polenzani sounds very suited to this role

por favor agrega subtitulos, todo es excelente, solo faltan los sub en español !!!!!

[@charlottehuang1207]

Thanks

[@richardlevin9907]

Maybe Matthew is the best Werther since Alfredo Kraus. And Garanca is fabulous and drop dead gorgeous.

The musical values are so tremendous in this production--the conductor, Polenzani and Garanca; too bad the Serban/Pabst production is so dreary and ugly, totally at odds with the music

[@micaelklein1799]

L air des letrres est d'un ennui avec Garanca...on est tres loin des grandes charlottes!!!
