Conductor
New tenor star Vittorio Grigolo takes on the title role in Offenbach’s fantastical opera, giving a tour-de-force performance as the tortured poet unlucky in love. He is joined by a trio of leading ladies: Erin Morley sings the mechanical doll Olympia, Hibla Gerzmava is the fragile Antonia, and Christine Rice sings Giulietta, the Venetian courtesan. Bartlett Sher’s colorful production, seen here in its second Live in HD presentation, also stars Thomas Hampson as the sinister Four Villains and Kate Lindsey as Niklausse, Hoffmann’s friend and muse. Yves Abel conducts.

"Hoffman" Conductor
Uma garota de 17 anos, estudante e moradora de Nova York, se sente angustiada por achar que, sem querer, desempenhou um papel em um acidente de trânsito que tirou a vida de uma mulher. Em suas tentativas para acertar as coisas ela encontra oposição a cada passo. Dilacerada pela frustração, ela começa a brutalizar emocionalmente sua família, seus amigos, seus professores e, acima de tudo, a si mesma. Inesperadamente, ela está sendo confrontada com uma verdade fundamental: que os seus ideais de juventude estão em rota de colisão contra as realidades e compromissos do mundo adulto.
