Offenbach's Signature Opera

Florentine Opera presents their take on the tales of the enigmatic German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffman and his life and loves, via Jacques Offenbach's brilliant opera The Tales of Hoffman. Directed by David Lefkowich and conducted by Francesco Milioto, Offenbach's swansong is well worth its place in history.

From the delicate automaton Olympia to the beguiling courtesan Giulietta, we're drawn in to a fantastical world, learning how one man deals with the power of love and its many faces. A playful work filled with romance and fairytale elements, it was Jacques Offenbach last work before his death, premiering in 1881, and has since become the French composer's signature opera.
