Les Contes d'Hoffman - Live from the MET

We'll meet at the theater at 6 (showtime at 6:30) and enjoy discussions/snacks during the two intermissions! Tickets are $18. Pricey for a movie, maybe, but CHEAP for the Metropolitan Opera! ***************** OffenbachÂÂ's fictionalized take on the life and loves of the German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann is a fascinating psychological journey. Met Music Director James Levine conducts Joseph Calleja in the tour-de-force title role and a stellar star cast including Anna Netrebko as the tragic Antonia, Elina Garanca as the ambiguous Nicklausse, and Alan Held as the demonic four villains.
