Werther
Werther
is an
opera
(
drame lyrique
) in four acts by
Jules Massenet
to a French
libretto
by
Édouard Blau
,
Paul Milliet
and
Georges Hartmann
(who used the pseudonym Henri Grémont). It is loosely based on the German
epistolary novel
The Sorrows of Young Werther
by
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
, which was based both on fact and on Goethe's own early life. Earlier examples of operas using the story were made by
Kreutzer
(1792) and
Pucitta
(1802).
