- Here is a video with a very ideal Werther ! Vanzo is Werther and Arrauzau is Charlotte. Both singers have wonderful voices and the style is very French. The quality of the video is not what we are used to today. It was made on a Betamax videorecorder in the beginning of homevideo sytems. So it is as good as possible!
The opera itself is a very dramatic one, so there is much passion in the music, impossible love and tears. I mention the famous tenor aria ; Pourqou me réveiller
and the the beautiful soprano aria : Va, laisse couler mes larmes. Both in the third act. Francine Arrauzau is not a big name, because she had a short career due to unhappy circumstances. She had a great healthy voice and was a passionate performer, unable to be dull !!! So here is much to enjoy , if that is the right word !?
A true French tenor Not the make believes of today yuk!!
Francine Arrauzau was a tragic loss to the world of opera . She wins all hearts as Charlotte. The cast including Vanzo at his peak is excellent.
You could not ask for a more perfect interpretation than Vanzo's. Every word he sings is clear. Along with that diction we get legato, lyricism and French style with use of head voice. How unfortunate that so many tenors past and present sang this as if it were a verismo opera.
I love his voice!
For me the best Werther
I agree!!!!
This version with a sharp image and beautiful colors
Great document!!!
thanks
It's ChlostAwa (Daniele), not ChlostOwa. This discreet singer had a short career going at the Paris Opera/Opera-Comique in those years, singing Olympia in the Chéreau production at Garnier, and Véronique (Messager) at the Opera-Comique (sometimes even on the same night!).
If you happen to have a video of the telecast of this Veronique, I'd most grateful.
Francine Arrauzau was singing Périchole in Caen, when she had a fatal car accident on the way back to Paris, I believe.
I dont have this Veronique !!!!!

Arrauzau was singing Perichole in Tours, in a matinee sunday performance, and was hit by a car a few hours afterwards. It was in 79, I think.
Arrauzau's car stopped on a highway, she got down to check the engine and got hit by a passing car.
@@quequitoAR a colleague was conducting the car. She felt unwell (it was just after the last performance of Perichole in Tours, a Pâques matinée). She went to the other side of the road to vomit. And apparently didn’t looked when she walked back to the other side. I know precisely this spot along the Loire, and accidents are not unfrequent there (poor visibility). It was a traumatic shock. And Tours’Opera never played « Perichole » again, until three performances scheduled for next december…
