The Tales of Hoffmann are beautifully told in Naples

By Lorenzo Fiorito, 17 March 2019

One of Teatro San Carlo’s most cherished productions of recent years, with an excellent cast of singers and a director who steered at his ease into the libretto’s erratic changes of mood and atmosphere.

A slick and enjoyable Tales of Hoffmann by Opera Hong Kong

By Alan Yu, 25 May 2013

Jacques Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann is a fine example of how the ridiculous can indeed be sublime. Three E.T.A. Hoffmann stories about otherworldly love affairs with defective femmes fatales, one of whom turns out to be a mechanical doll, connected only by the author’s gullible alter-ego as protagonist, scale the heights of the phantasmagorical.
