Werther
is an opera in four acts by
Jules Massenet
to a French
libretto
by
Édouard Blau
,
Paul Milliet
and
Georges Hartmann
. It is loosely based on
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
's epistolary novel
The Sorrows of Young Werther
, which was based both on fact and on Goethe's own early life. This poster, designed by the Swiss artist
Eugène Grasset
, advertised the opera's first performance in France, which was given by the
Opéra-Comique
at the
Théâtre Lyrique
in Paris on 16 January 1893.
