By David SalazarThe Opéra de Monte-Carlo is set to present Massenet’s “Werther” this February.

“Werther” tells the story of a young man, Werther, who falls hopeless in love with Charlotte, who is already betrothed to Albert. When he realizes that he cannot be with Charlotte, Werther opts for the most extreme way of forgetting her.
