HD at the Opera House: The Tales of Hoffman
Join us on June 14, 2026 at 1:30 PM at the Sarasota Opera House for a captivating presentation of The Tales of Hoffmann, a visually stunning opera film from The Royal Opera. This fantastical production brings Jacques Offenbach’s masterpiece to life, following a poet who, through the haze of the years, remembers the women he loved, where nothing is as it seems, especially when the devil himself is involved.
Journeying back to his school days, Hoffmann, performed by Juan Diego Flórez, relives his innocent childhood romance with Olympia, a model student in every sense. As he grows older, love becomes more tragic and complicated. The dancer Antonia captures his heart but is taken from him too soon, while the sensual courtesan Giulietta harbors her own secret agenda. As memory and fantasy become increasingly blurred, Hoffmann searches for the elusive Stella before it is too late.
This Royal Opera production features an exceptional cast including Alex Esposito, Julie Boulianne, Olga Pudova, Ermonela Jaho, Marina Costa Jackson, Christine Rice, Vincent Ordonneau, Alastair Miles, and Jeremy White. Directed by Olivier Award winning director Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Antonello Manacorda, the performance blends theatrical innovation with operatic excellence.
With a running time of 4 hours and 5 minutes, this immersive opera film delivers a rich experience of music, drama, and visual storytelling. Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann is a haunting exploration of love, illusion, and obsession, making it a must see event for opera enthusiasts, classical music lovers, and fans of dramatic storytelling.
Experience this extraordinary opera film at the Sarasota Opera House and be transported into a dreamlike world where romance and fantasy collide.
