Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann depicts the misadventures of an alcoholic poet whose romantic pursuits are thwarted by a shape-shifting enemy, resonating with themes of unrequited love.
The first woman Hoffmann loves is a doll, but after she dazzles him with her voice, her creator shatters her, revealing the harshness of his fantasies.
Each of Hoffmann's loves leads to heartbreak, culminating in his Venetian romance where his enemy steals his shadow, metaphorically taking away his very essence and soul.
The new production promises excitement, featuring tenor Juan Diego Florez and soprano Ermonela Jaho, both renowned for their vocal artistry, accompanied by director Damiano Michieletto's bold vision.
