Win tickets to HOT’s ‘Tales of Hoffman’

HOT presents Jacques Offenbach’s ‘The Tales of Hoffmann,’ opening on April 21. The final HOT show of the 2016-2017 season will also be a celebration of the distinguished career of HOT Artistic Director Henry Akina, who retires at the close of his 20th season with the company.

‘The Tales of Hoffmann’ takes place over a series of flashbacks, as the famous German poet Hoffmann tells the story of his great failed romances, ruining his fourth great romance in the process. Each woman represents a part of the whole that he is seeking: Olympia, the beautiful doll, Antonia, the singer and Giulietta, the courtesan. As his current love, the prima donna Stella, abandons him in despair, Hoffmann once again dedicates himself to his true love: poetry.

Another talented cast from across the globe will take the stage, one of them being Eric Fennell, making in HOT debut and his fifth appearance as Hoffmann. Joining Fennell in their HOT Debuts: Wayne Tigges (the villains), Rachel Gilmore (Olympia), Christina Arand (Antonia), and Eve Gigliotti (Giulietta).
