CLASSICALMUSIC

Jacques Offenbach – Les Contes d ’ Hoffmann
Live Broadcast from the Opéra National de Paris

Opera comprising a prologue, 3 acts an d an epilogue | musical direction: Tomas Netopil | stage direction: Robert Carsen | choir conductor: Patrick Marie Aubert | choir and Orchestra of the Opéra National de Paris | cast in cludes: Stefano Secco, Jane Archibald, Sophie Koch, Ana Maria Martinez, Kate Aldrich, Jean-Philippe Lafont, Franck Ferrari | running time: 210 mins including 2 intervals

If ever a man was unlucky in love, it ’ s Hoffmann, the wild-eyed poet who travels the world in search of the ideal woman and ends up thwarted by villains at every turn.First, he’s smitten by Olympia — but discovers she’s nothing more than a mechanical doll. Then, he falls for Antonia, a fragile songstress who’ll die if she sings — and regrettably for him, she does both. Finally he’s seduced by Giulietta — but the treacherous courtesan casts him aside.

Impossibly beautiful music (including the famous Barcarolle) combined with flamboyant theatricality – Offenbach’s extravaganza based on the fantastical tales by Hoffman is a must-see.

‘Minute for minute this Tales of Hoffmannwas musically resplendent and dramatically involving.’ Opera Today
