About the Story...
One is made great by love, but greater by tears - La Muse
Hoffmann has never been lucky in love. He is entraced by the dull Olympia, seduced by the courtesan Giulietta, obsessed by the fragile singer Antonia and when he meets Stella, she holds the promise of all three women rolled into one. Is Hoffmann a victim of his own imagination or a helpless pawn in love's cruel hands?
One of Australia's most exciting sopranos, Emma Matthews, will play four different roles to create the ultimate woman of Hoffmann's dreams.
Rosario La Spina joins Emma Matthews to make his role debut as the hapless poet, Hoffmann, and we are thrilled to welcome back to these shores John Wegner to play the four characters who confound Hoffmann's hopes for love. |
