Just loved incredibly moving performance of #ROHwerther @RoyalOperaHouse tonight. Exquisite music, superbly conducted by #EdwardGardner. @JDiegoflorez, @IsabelLeonardNY on top form and acted convincingly. Great singing from #HeatherEngebretson as well. Will make you feel 😥

100% worth it. ROH orchestra led masterfully by Gardner, with a heart breaking performance by Werther and Charlotte!#Y
