The Tales of Hoffmann

Approved

The last work of the Mozart of the Champs-Élysées, Jacques Offenbach, is the only one that is completely operatic. Based on a play by Jules Barbier and Michel Carre, itself inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s famous Fantastic Tales, the work is particularly inspired, although unfinished. Legend has it that the composer died with the score in his hands. The Tales of Hoffmann will sometimes be mutilated or completed in order to present the masterpiece on stage. Recently, some musicological discoveries have been able to restore the essential parts that were missing. Although an amputee version was created posthumously in 1881, it was not until 1911 that the complete masterpiece in five acts, Offenbach’s sublime testament, was discovered.

The opera has a complex psychological structure that integrates, through different characters, all the facets of human phantasmagoria in the exact spirit of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s original Fantastic Tales. But Les Contes d’Hoffmann, it is also unforgettable music, like the famous Barcarolle or the great aria of the doll Olympia, “Les Oiseaux dans la Charmille”, which made this work one of the most performed French operas in the world.
