"New version of Les contes d'Hoffmann (The tales of Hoffman)" by Jacques Offenbach is an opera in four acts written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Hoffmann, a young poet, as he recounts the tales of his three tragic loves—Olympia, Giulietta, and Antonia—each embodying different aspects of love and loss, set against a backdrop of enchanting yet sorrowful events. The opening of the opera introduces Hoffmann in a tavern surrounded by his friends, who start questioning why he seems so morose. As they encourage him to share the stories of his past loves, Hoffmann reflects on his heart-wrenching experiences. He speaks of his first love, the automaton Olympia, who captivates him with her beauty and singing. Through lively exchanges with his friends and a playful chorus, the atmosphere shifts between humor and melancholy, setting the stage for the exploration of Hoffmann's romantic misadventures as they unfold throughout the opera.
