Anglais - A Magnificent Recycled Hoffmann at Gran Teatre del Liceu
These aren’t good times for new productions, theatres’ pockets are empty and everyone makes do as they can. For the performances of Les contes d’Hoffmann, Liceu had to rescue from the storage the production directed by Laurent Pelly, accredited Offenbach specialist. This same production was shown in Barcelona in 2013 and in a way it was already a re-elaboration of the work Pelly himself had done ten years prior for the Lausanne opera house with the same team (scenography by Chantal Thomas and dramaturgy by Agathe Mélinand). Pelly’s Hoffmann isn’t new, but it is good. It is visually dark, oppressive, with blues and greys dominating, and deliberately references the troubling works by Belgian symbolist painter Leon Spilliaert (1881 – 1946). The production, rather than looking at the jolly and lively Offenbach, is more orienteered towards E.T.A. Hoffmann, author of the fantastical texts which decisively influenced most of […]

A fascinating conundrum - Les contes d'Hoffmann: with its troubled genesis & editorial confusion, Offenbach's final opera seems unique, yet it developed out ideas from the composer's lesser-known late period
Offenbach: Les contes d'Hoffmann – scene from the premiere in 1881with Adèle Isaac as the dead Antonia, Jacques Offenbach's output is so large (close to 100 stage works) that we tend to be familiar with only a small number of his operas. So, a work like his grand opera Les contes d'Hoffmann seems to appear out of nothing, and to bear little resemblance to other key works such as Orphée aux enfers or La belle Hélène. It does not help that matters are confused by the editorial difficulties, performing material being difficult to obtain, manuscripts being dispersed and the fact that a number of Offenbach's works exist in significantly different versions. Jacques Offenbach photographed by Nadar in 1860s But as reliable editions of his works become available and some of the lesser known pieces are explored, we can […]
