Every aspect of this production was absolutely superb. I was worried that after Fally's superhuman performance as Olympia, the last 85 minutes would be an anticlimax. My worries were totally unjustified!

There were some good ideas like the violins on Crespel's walls and the flaming punch. The Muse to Nicklausse beginning and vice versa at the end must be done. In a good conservatoire production from the States which was on KZbin I think someone brought the costume for the transformation. Here didn't the Muse come out of the freezer wearing a flying machine? Franz which I've played doesn't need to act singing flat in his song. There's a new manuscript for the end of Giulietta. The Septet with Chorus is probably an addition from Monte Carlo. The Jewel aria shouldn't be given in the equally posthumous version based on a tune from the overture of "le Voyage dans la Lune". There's the tune traditionally given to Coppélius, and a beautiful version discovered by Jean-Christophe Keck. One of the best productions ever used the corrupt Choudens edition & famous DANCERS. It is still the film by Powell and Pressburger. There's a mystery about the Muse. Michael Powell recited it (recorded) for Sir Thomas Beecham. The Muse's beautiful music wasn't discovered till much later. She's not on the soundtrack & not all of that was used in the film. However there is a photo of Pamela Brown mime for Monica Sinclair (mezzo)/ Nicklausse, as the Muse, draped in gold tulle. Was it just a publicity shot?

I've fallen in love with this like I fell in love with Jean Cocteau's La Belle Et La Bête. I don't know German any more than I do Latin. But I'll make it through the subtitles.

The stage was too big, so the cast seemed lost in it. And the stage design, with those plain walls and that modern photograph of a woman's face, wanted to be "innovative" but it was not inspired.

Beschissene Kostueme!!! Muesst Ihr alles alte und gute kaputt machen mit euerem modernen Scheiss? Costumes are absolutely horrendous! Hoffmann would have a heart attack if he saw his masterpiece destroyed like that.

@@operaetcompagnie Opera is music and text and theater everything together. One shouldn't only credit the composer. Although the libretto was written by Jules Barbier, it is based on Hoffmann's three short stories. So he's sort of co-author.
