The Tales of Hoffman - National Opera Company (INBAL)

Opera in three acts, a prologue and an epilogue, by Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), with a libretto in French by Jules Barbier (1825-1901), based on a work that Barbier himself and Michel Carré (1821-1872) had written based on stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822). Approximate duration: 2 h 45 min Recommended for those over 15 years old. The young poet Hoffmann, accompanied by Nicklausse, his alter ego and confidant, is in a tavern next to the theatre where Mozart's Don Giovanni is being performed. During the opera's intermission, some diners arrive at the bar who, upon seeing the poet, encourage him to sing and tell them the story of his famous love affairs. Hoffmann finally gives in and shares with them the stories of Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta. They, absorbed in the poet's stories, remain in the tavern, forgetting about the opera performance.

De Nieuwe Snaar - Helden

The latest, still ongoing production by De Nieuwe Snaar differs slightly from what the quartet normally does. There is more silence, more testimony, and less routine. 'Courageous' is the word we use to describe it, but the De Smet brothers & co still had to get used to the new theatrical form. This DVD was recorded five months after the start of the tour, so everything runs smoothly. But above all, such a recording brings you much closer to the actors/singers. You can see the looks better, feel the songs better, admire the acrobatics up close. That's no small difference, because De Nieuwe Snaar is a dead honest company that values the art of storytelling, promotes craftsmanship, and after all these years still gets nervous when trying something new. The gentlemen regularly show themselves to be very vulnerable, such as when Jan De Smet sings a cappella about his father.

"Now I Am Yours"

A film on Saint Teresa that leads us through an unnervingly authentic extreme state of religious and sexual ecstasy. With the central image of the statue of Saint Teresa of Avila in Rome, together with glimpses of colour-saturated flower gardens, the Crucifixion and Baroque plasterwork, we listen to the gulping and frenetically clipped voice of the ‘saint’ pouring out her rapturous lament, attempting to express the unsayable. The film’s soundtrack combines a spoken voice by Nina Danino and performed vocals by New York experimental singer Shelley Hirsch.
