Synopsis

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 star tenor Joseph Calleja in the tour-de-force title role,
with Anna Netrebko as the tragic Antonia, Elīna Garanča as the
ambiguous Nicklausse, and Alan Held as the demonic four villains.

Approximate Running Time: 3 hours - includes 2 intermissions
