Les Contes d’Hoffmann
«Opéra fantastique»
by Jacques Offenbach
Following on from The Barber of Seville by Rossini last season, the ‘Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Musique, de Danse et d’Art dramatique Perpignan Méditerranée’ continues its collaboration with the Théâtre de l’ Etang and the festival lyrique de Lamalou-les-Bains to bring you this posthumous opera by Jacques Offenbach, Les Contes d’ Hoffmann.
Hoffmann, both narrator and protagonist, tells three stories to his companions. Each story illustrates a facet of his stormy relationship with singer Stella.
