Offenbach
Les Contes d’Hoffmann (Revival)
Offenbach’s fantastical opera kicks off the Metropolitan Opera’s season of Live in HD performance broadcasts on October 5, starring French tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role
of the tormented poet. Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clé mentine Margaine as
Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four
Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.
