On October 5, an ensemble of leading lights take the stage for Offenbach's fantastical final work, headlined by tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Hoffmann's trio of lovers are sung by soprano Erin Morley as the mechanical doll Olympia, soprano Pretty Yende as the plagued diva Antonia, and mezzo-soprano Clementine Margaine as the Venetian seductress Giulietta. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher's evocative production, which also features bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in an important company debut as Hoffmann's friend Nicklausse. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met's award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
