Les Contes D'Hoffmann - The Met: Live in HD

Conductor: James Levine; Production: Bartlett Sher; Kathleen Kim, Anna Nebrebko, Ekaterina Gubanova, Joseph Calleja, Alan Held.
Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) directs this new production, returning after the triumph of his Met Barber of Seville (seen live in HD in the 2006-07 season). Offenbach’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 a stellar star cast including Anna Netrebko as the tragic Antonia, and Alan Held as the demonic four villains.
Running time: 3 hours / 2 intermissions.
