A woman stands in a psychodelic backdrop of eyes

In this timeless opera, a poet retells the tales of the loves of his life; and the poetic, creative beauty that can come from our pain.

Offenbach’s fantastical opera kicks off the Metropolitan Opera’s season of Live in HD performance broadcasts on October 5, starring French tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. 

Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine as Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. 

Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.
