The Metropolitan Opera: The Tales of Hoffmann (2015)
Directed by Bartlett Sher, Barbara Willis Sweete
“Offenbach's opera in a live performance from The Metropolitan Opera, New York, 31 January 2015”
Fantasy, Music · 2h 51m
New tenor star Vittorio Grigolo takes on the title role in Offenbach’s fantastical opera, giving a tour-de-force performance as the tortured poet unlucky in love. He is joined by a trio of leading ladies: Erin Morley sings the mechanical doll Olympia, Hibla Gerzmava is the fragile Antonia, and Christine Rice sings Giulietta, the Venetian courtesan. Bartlett Sher’s colorful production, seen here in its second Live in HD presentation, also stars Thomas Hampson as the sinister Four Villains and Kate Lindsey as Niklausse, Hoffmann’s friend and muse. Yves Abel conducts.
