Emotions run deep in Werther

Orchestra overwhelms Scottish Opera’s Werther

Massenet’s music is enchanting, lively and full of delicious variety

Only a first rate production can release the full power of Massenet’s Werther; luckily, Scottish Opera's new production is just that

Jonathan Boyd is excellent in the title role, but this production lacks emotional impact

Furtado’s detailed direction is responsive to the alternately delicate and passionate score

There are some fine performances, but altogether it is an incoherent and stilted account

A tale of doomed love

A confident new staging that has much to commend itself
