Approved

In Barrie Kosky's whimsically bizarre production of Les Contes d'Hoffmann , the eponymous artist loses himself in a disturbing nightmare of his own fantasies. Mozart's Don Giovanni becomes the starting point for a mad trip through bizarre worlds; the idolatrous admiration for the singer of Donna Anna always gives birth to new images of women: the soulless doll Olympia, the terminally ill singer Antonia, the heartless courtesan Giulietta. Haunted by his own demons, there is no way back to reality for Hoffmann. »Deadly blackness and garish entertainment are balanced: a crazy, confused Hoffmann spectacle, perfectly served
