'Les contes d'Hoffmann'

Marc Minkowski, consecrated as the best Offenbach interpreter of the moment, is currently preparing the very complete version of this work that the mate will prepare in 2012 with Les Musiciens du Louvre with the stable works of the Arts and a stellar cast.

The arts center gathered for this occasion great figures of international opera who sang for the first time in Valencian opera: the tenor John Osborn, in the lead role; the soprano Pretty Yende, who embodies for the first time in her career the four idyllic muses, and the bass-bariton Alex Esposito, who gives life to Hoffmann's four dimonis antagonists.

Johannes Erath signs the stage direction of this muntatge of the Dresden Semperoper, which recreates the real and dreamlike experiences that the poet experiences in a powerful theatrical exercise abundant in visually vivid moments that stimulate the viewer's imagination.

The first performance of 'Les contes d'Hoffmann' will take place on the 23rd of January (6:00 p.m.). Les Arts reminds that the remaining performances, scheduled for December 26, December 28 and December 31, will begin this time at 7:00 p.m.
