[WIKIPEDIA]"The Tales of Hoffmann (French: Les contes d'Hoffmann) is an opéra fantastique by Jacques Offenbach. The French libretto was written by Jules Barbier, based on three short stories by E. T. A. Hoffmann, who is the protagonist of the story. It was Offenbach's final work; he died in October 1880, four months before the premiere. (...) Offenbach saw a play, Les contes fantastiques d'Hoffmann, written by Barbier and Michel Carré and produced at the Odéon Theatre in Paris in 1851. (...) The opera was first performed in a public venue at the Opéra-Comique on 10 February 1881, without the third act. It was presented in an abridged form at Offenbach's house, (...) on 18 May 1879[.] (...) Besides Léon Carvalho, director of the Opéra-Comique, the director of the Ringtheater in Vienna, Franz von Jauner, was also present. Both men requested the rights [to the opera], but Offenbach granted them to Carvalho." #FrancoColombo #Bookworm #BooksBooksBooks #instabooks #Books #JacquesOffenbach #JulesBarbier #Antiquarian #booksforsale #CoverArt #bibliophile #bookcollecting #Libretto #CuttleboneBooks #FredRullman #Rare #LeonCarvalho #TalesOfHoffmann #Script #collectiblebooks #Scarce #booksale #LeContesdHoffmann #instaread #Opera #Vintage #Bookstagram #ClassicalMusic #readersofinstagram
