Salzburg Marionette Theatre: The Tales of Hoffmann

With Plácido Domingo, Joan Sutherland, Gabriel Bacquier, Jacques Charon and Hugues Cuénod

In Luther's beer-cellar, lusty singing extols the virtues of beer and wine. For this evening, the Muse decides to deflect the poet Hoffmann's attention from amorous escapades, so that he will devote himself entirely to his art. Hoffmann tells of the three unhappy loves of his life: Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta.
