Poet E.T.A. Hoffmann as the protagonist of his own fantastic tales: In his encounter with three women – Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta – he searches in vain for love and for himself. Will he draw strength for art from his failure in life? Or will he fail in himself, drown in alcohol? 

Stage director Daniele Finzi Pasca brings an enchanting, fairy-tale-like spectacle to the stage with all the colorful means of theatrical magic. French star tenor Benjamin Bernheim shines in his role debut of Hoffmann.

History

JACQUES OFFENBACH
Les Contes d’Hoffmann

Premiere: Opéra Comique, Paris, 1881. After becoming the toast of Paris with his witty operettas, Jacques Offenbach set out to create a more serious work. He chose as his source a successful play based on the stories of visionary German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann. Three of these tales—at once profound, eerie, and funny—were unified in the play by a narrative frame that made Hoffmann the protagonist of his own stories. Each episode recounts a catastrophic love affair, and throughout the opera, Hoffmann is dogged by a diabolical nemesis and accompanied by his faithful friend Nicklausse.
