Share with your friends on:


An unusual production of the “baritone version” of Werther was mounted to showcase Dale Duesing in the title role; Antonio de Almeida conducted, and Francesca Zambello was the director. Duesing, always a powerful actor, sang all the performances; his Charlottes were Delores Ziegler and Victoria Livengood, with Gurcell Henry as Sophie.
