Film SynopsisCinema and opera in this one-of-a-kind take on a classic story. In Jacques Offenbach's fantasy opera The Tales of Hoffmann, a poet dreams of three women - a mechanical performing doll, a bejeweled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer - all of whom break his heart in different ways. Powell and Pressburger's feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance,and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced. Get Involved |
