In May 2011, Rolando Villazón made his acclaimed return to\nCovent Garden singing the title role in Massenet’s Werther - “a\nperfect fit for him” as The Independent glowed. Captured on CD,\nWerther showcases every facet of our tenor’s prodigious talent in\nthis signature role.

\n

The Telegraph lauded conductor Antonio Pappano for\nhis“uninhibited affection for the score”.

Review

The opera Werther is a tale of love, loss and family. Opera superstar Rolando Villazon takes the role of Werther in this new recording from Deutsche Grammophon. With Antonio Pappano conducting the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House it’s a production that will tug at your heartstrings. I adore the lush orchestrations that complement Villazon’s voice.
