The Tales of Hoffmann (2016): cast, story & where to watch
2016 · Film
Released in 2016, The Tales of Hoffmann is a notable film directed by Barrie Kosky.
What it’s about. In a poet's feverish imagination, the staging of Don Giovanni sets him off on a frenzied journey into nightmarish worlds. Can Mozart himself offer him salvation as he loses himself in his fearful dreams? Barrie Kosky tells Offenbach's fantastic story as a disturbing nightmare of an artist who increasingly loses his sense of identity. As we dive into the obsessions of a deranged mind, the title role itself is shared by three performers - including an actor - while a single soprano embodies all four female lead roles.
Who’s in it. The Tales of Hoffmann stars Uwe Schönbeck, Dominik Köninger, Edgaras Montvidas and Nicole Chevalier, among others.
