The Tales of Hoffmann, by Jacques Offenbach Opera in three acts, a prologue and an epilogue, by Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), with a French libretto by Jules Barbier (1825-1901), based on a work that Barbier himself and Michel Carré (1821-1872) had written about stories by ETA Hoffmann (1776-1822). Approximate duration: 2 h 45 min. Recommended for people over 15 years of age. The young poet Hoffmann, accompanied by Nicklausse, his alter ego and confidante, is in a tavern adjoining the theater where Mozart's Don Giovanni is being performed. During the intermission of the opera, some diners arrive at the bar who, seeing the poet, encourage him to sing and tell them the story of his famous love affairs. Hoffmann finally gives in and shares with them the stories of Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta. Those, absorbed in the poet's stories, linger in the tavern, oblivious of the opera function.
