Through the succession of extraordinary stories of automated dolls, magic glasses, spectral and seductive courtesans, Les Contes d’Hoffmann is a disquieting and dreamlike tribute of Offenbach to the strong imagination of the main character “hero”, the Romantic, German poet E. T. A. Hoffmann. In full coherence with music and libretto, the staging of Laurent Pelly is a hypnotic and captivating performance. Firstly, we notice a “virtuoso” use a stage made of moving walls that create an “unexpectedly” familiar living room – the chandeliers turn into an infernal lift and the curtains into shrouds – and labyrinths where characters are trapped. In addition to this, we also notice an incursion from movies (with Lindorf and his “avatar” that unbelievably call to mind Murnau’s Nosferatu) and the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. Particularly effective costumes, lighting and theatrical effects complete the illusion.
