| Phillip Addis |
Opera de Montreal will perform the increasingly popular baritone version of Massenet's opera "Werther."
They have cast Phillip Addis as Werther, who actually looks the part of the young, forlorn poet. Although the title role has generally been played by tenors, two recordings came out in 2004 featuring baritones in the lead. Both Luca Grassi and Thomas Hampson recorded the role with great success.
Performance begin on Saturday and run through February 3rd. You can visit the Place des Arts website or the Opera de Montreal website for additional cast and performance information. The opera company's website also included highlight footage of the performance and other multimedia features.
Here is Thomas Hampson singing the famous aria "Pourquoi me reveiller.":
