UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL!
Offenbach's masterpiece specially made for the TV screens "The Tales of Hoffmann" will be the most ambitious opera film ever produced for television. Featuring 1000 extras, 150 musicians and chorus members from Paris Opera, 50 dancers, 20 of the world's greatest soloists, the film will be shot on location in Paris, Milan, Prague and Venice, in the most prestigious and magnificent opera houses: the Opera national de Paris, Teatro alla Scala, Prague Estates Theatre and Teatro La Fenice. With a cast of singers unparalleled in either size or talent, the film will convey to the audience the particular excitement of Offenbach's masterpiece. This production of this fantasy opera is intended as a homage to opera and opera houses in general, these magical venues that breathe life into the imagination of great poets and composers, these temples of art where everything is possible and we can allow ourselves to be carried off into a dream world. Experience again the five acts of this fantasy opera inspired by three stories by the German writer-composer Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann in acclaimed Robert Carsen's way.
