Les Contes d'Hoffman
This adaptation of three tales by E.T.A. Hoffmann, with a sprinkling of Goetheâs Faust, portrays the German poet as both narrator and hero recounting his love affairs with Olympia, Antonia and Giuletta. Robert Carsenâs spectacular production highlights the melancholy genius of a man marked by life, with a coherence and dramatic sense remarkable for a work that leaves numerous questions unanswered. Under the baton of Philippe Jordan, StĂ©phanie dâOustrac, Ermonela Jaho, Kate Aldrich, Yann Beuron and RamĂłn Vargas and Stefano Secco in the main role, interpret the legendary airs of this work whose brilliant mystery will continue to dazzle opera houses for countless years to come.
