Offenbach’s one true opera, first performed in 1881, vaulted him into the realms of great operatic composers. A fantastic tale about a poet and the fates of his three true loves, The Tales of Hoffmann is, in many ways, a dark comedy, though it is flavored with an abundance of gorgeous musical moments.
Originally performed in 2006 at Cincinnati Music Hall
Music by Jacques Offenbach; libretto by Michel Carre and Jules Barbier
Emmanuel Plasson, conductor; Mark Streshinsky, stage director
Featuring Vinson Cole, Philippe Rouillon, Nathalie Paulin, Sarah Coburn, Milena Kitic, Ruxandra Donose
