This is Philippe ARLAUD's production of a whimsical like story. It's Jacques Offenbach's only opera, best known for its "Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour" (known as "Barcarolle"), other highlights including the "Chanson de Kleinzach" sung by Hoffmann, and that ultimate showcase of coloratura soprano singing, the "Les oiseaux dans la charmille" aria sung by Olympia. This production brings added depth to the work with radiating wit and humour, as well as effective of fluorescent colours, bringing out the sense of fantasy of the work.

This will be a noteworthy production, featuring Marko LETONJA, Common Music Director of the Bremen Philharmonic, as conductor, and Leonardo CAPALBO who's been highly acclaimed for this main role, will create his debut in NNTT. Egils SILINS, famous for many Bass-Baritone roles, will be playing the four villains.
