Massenet's Werther - Pourquoi me réveiller (Looking Back Series)

"Why do you wake me, O breath of spring?"
Listen to the famous aria Pourquoi me réveiller from Werther, performed here by the one and only Jonas Kaufmann. Surely this exquisite singing has not only melted Charlotte's heart, but also our hearts!
Star tenor Jonas Kaufmann brings aching intensity and vocal charisma to the tortured title hero of Massenet’s Goethe adaptation. Sophie Koch, in her Met debut, is an appealing and elegant Charlotte, the object of Werther’s passionate affection that will lead to tragedy. Lisette Oropesa as Sophie, David Bizic as Albert, and Jonathan Summers as Le Bailli co-star. Richard Eyre’s atmospheric production is conducted by rising maestro Alain Altinoglu.
