Today's featured picture

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.
