Live from the Met: Les Contes d'Hoffmann

Offenbach’s fantastical opera kicks off the new Live from the Met opera season. French tenor Benjamin Bernheim stars in the title role of the tormented poet, joined by American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clémentine 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
