The revival, at the Royal Opera House in London, of this well-loved production by John Schlesinger provides the perfect vehicle for Vittorio Grigòlo as Hoffmann to display his wonderful voice and masterful acting, surrounded by exemplary supporting cast, including Sonya Yoncheva in the role of Antonia and Thomas Hampson as Hoffmann’s arch rival. Les Contes d`Hoffmann is one of the most successful and longest-lasting operas by master of French style Jacques Offenbach, and is full of hits including “Oh dieu, de quelle ivresse”, the incredibly famous barcarolle `Belle nuit, ô nuit d`amour` and the “Kleinzach” ballade.
