The Teatro Colón in its online version shows us the opera "Los cuentos de Hoffmann" , composed by Jacques Offenbach with musical direction by Enrique Arturo Diemecke at the head of the Stable Orchestra of the Teatro Colón together with the Stable Choir under the direction of Miguel Martínez and direction scene, scenography and costumes of the award-winning Eugenio Zanetti.

The opera is based on Les contes fantastiques d'Hoffman, a play by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, who were inspired by some of the short stories by the German ETA Hoffmann. On a drunken night in the city, Hoffmann recounts how he wooed and lost three girls, his impossible loves: Olympia, a mechanical doll that only he believes is truly human; Giulietta, the courtesan who steals her reflection in a mirror; and Antonia, a young woman who sings until she literally dies.

I relived the Hoffmann tales!
