Les Contes d'Hoffmann, by Jacques Offenbach

Jan 21 – Feb 14, 2020
Place de la Bastille, 75012 Paris, France

The thrilling American tenor Michael Fabiano heads a revival of the classic Robert Carsen production, one of the enduring glories of the Opéra’s recent history. Self-referential to the max, the sets recreate the auditorium, the lobby, and other spaces of the Opéra Bastille, where it is performed. Dizzying, meta, irresistible. —M.G.
