霍夫曼的故事（Les Contes d`Hoffmann）是法國作曲家雅克·奧芬巴赫的最後一部歌劇，取材於德國浪漫派作家霍夫曼（E.T.A.Hoffmann）的小說，法語腳本由巴比埃和卡雷共同完成。

Tales of Hoffmann is different from everything you saw before. The New
York Times praised the thoughtfulness and creativity of Stefan Herheims
new production, devised by the director as a search for ones own self
in a sparkling drag show. A shining-toned (NYT) Hoffmann is embodied by
tenor Daniel Johansson in the title role. He is supported by a
fantastic cast: Rachel Frenkel is positively ideal as Muse and
Niklausse (Kurier), Kerstin Avemo as Olympia is endowed with brilliant,
cheekily extemporized coloraturas (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), Michael Volle
sings the parts of Lindorf, Coppelius, Dr. Miracle and Dappertutto, the
works four villains, with warmth and intensity (NYT) and Mandy Fredrich
is a finelyphrased Antonia (Kurier). |
