On October 5, an ensemble of leading lights take the stage for Offenbachs fantastical final work, headlined by tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Hoffmanns 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 Clmentine Margaine as the Venetian seductress Giulietta. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Shers 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 Hoffmanns friend Nicklausse. This live cinema transmission is part of the Mets award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
