Stage Director is Renaud Doucet, set and costume design by Andre Barbe, conductor is Emmanuel Joel-Hornak.
Inspired by the tales of the German Romantic poet E.T.A. Hoffmann, the opera tours a dramatic dreamscape populated with beautiful courtesans, magical portraits and fantastical automatons.
The lush music fuels the visual style of the stage design inspired by 19th century couture and Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. This innovative production brings to life Offenbach's vivid fantasy of a poet obsessed with four remarkable women – and the four villains bent on his destruction. -- www.operacolorado.org
