The Tales of Hoffmann, an opera fantastique by Jacques Offenbach, intertwines Hoffmann's stories and explores his tumultuous romantic experiences through three compelling acts and a prologue.
This opera not only serves as Offenbach's attempt to gain respect from the Parisian musical scene, but it poignantly critiques Romanticism's idealized notions of love.
Director Damiano Michieletto's approach to 'The Tales of Hoffmann' promises to be uniquely engaging, given his success with previous productions and the opera's complex narrative.
The opera's narrative is built around morality tales that challenge the traditional Romantic view of love, mirroring Hoffmann's transformation and eventual maturation.
