The Royal Opera: Offenbach’s THE TALES OF HOFFMANN
Four women: four curious love stories.
Through the haze of the years, a poet remembers the women he loved. But when it comes to matters of the heart, nothing is as it seems. Particularly when the devil himself is involved… Doomed love follows him into adulthood and, as memory and fantasy become increasingly blurred, will Hoffmann find the enigmatic Stella before it is too late?
Juan Diego Flórez leads a fantastic cast in Offenbach’s dream-like opera.
