The subject matter is far from the only thing that promises to make this performance of Offenbach’s last work for the stage so fantastic, as we will get to hear some wonderful singers when Bartlett Sher’s captivating 2009 production of Tales of Hoffmann returns to the Met’s series of HD transmissions. The title role of the poet escaping into alcohol goes to today’s top French tenor, Benjamin Bernheim, with Erin Morley, Pretty Yende and Clémentine Margaine portraying Hoffmann’s loves. Playing not one, but four demonic figures in this performance conducted by Marco Armiliato is bass-baritone Christian Van Horn.

The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
