The Metropolitan Opera offers a wild and kaleidoscopic production of Offenbach’s operatic masterpiece, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, in HD at San Juan Community Theatre on Sunday, February 15 at 2:00 p.m.
Recorded live earlier this month, the magnetic tenor Vittorio Grigolo takes on the tortured poet and unwitting adventurer of the title character. Hibla Gerzmava, Erin Morley, and Christine Rice sing the three heroines—each an idealized embodiment of some aspect of Hoffmann’s desire. Thomas Hampson portrays the shadowy Four Villains, and Yves Abel conducts the sparkling score.
Tickets for Les Contes d’Hoffmann are $20 for adults, $18 for SJCT members and $10 for student reserved. Due to a financial agreement with the Met, no SJCT coupons are accepted for these productions. Tickets are available on-line at www.sjctheatre.org or at the SJCT Box Office: 378-3210.
