Jules Massenet (12 May 1842 – 13 August 1912) was a French composer best known for his thirty plus operas, especially Manon and Werther.
Joyeux Noël
After he dies, Charlotte faints. Outside children are heard singing the Christmas carol. -- Wikipedia, s.v. "Werther"
It's a very sad end to the play,
In Werther by Jules Massanet,
When Werther is dead,
Having suffered and bled
In a very un-Christmassy way.
