The opera dramatises the three great romances in the life of the poet-hero presented in a series of flashbacks. Hoffmann's tales depict the struggle between human love and the artist's dedication to his work. Hoffmann loses each of the women he loves but gains instead poetic inspiration -- the ability to transform painful experiences into art. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

Those who know The Red Shoes will also be well prepared for The Tales of Hoffmann. However, this creative adaptation of Offenbach's famous opera is in many ways even more expressive, opulent, and, in short, bigger. The opera "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1881) is already a very interesting transcript of E. T. A. Hoffmann and it's completely wild. Probably the most famous piece is the aria of the robotic Olympia, which is one of the best numbers of many singers of the last 140 years. I highly recommend it.
