Compañía Nacional de Ópera’s WETHER Continues at Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes
Performances will run through June 7.
Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes will host a major return of French opera this summer with Compañía Nacional de Ópera’s production of Jules Massenet’s “Werther,” running May 28 through June 7, 2026. The engagement includes five performances scheduled across the end of May and early June, placing it just beyond June 1 in the final stretch of its run. The production is staged at the historic Palacio de Bellas Artes, Av. Juárez, Centro Histórico, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City.
The production features tenor Ramón Vargas in the title role of Werther, with Juliana Vanscoit directing and Rodrigo Sámano Albarrán conducting. The opera is presented by the Compañía Nacional de Ópera under the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL), as part of its 2026 season programming that emphasizes a mix of traditional repertoire and contemporary staging approaches. The creative team also includes chorus direction by Rodrigo Cadet, with music by Jules Massenet and a libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Remaining performances include June 2, June 4, and June 7, 2026, all at 8 p.m. local time. The production is part of a limited spring repertory run that marks one of the season’s key international opera presentations at Mexico’s flagship performing arts venue.
