Description:

Impressive performances abound in this German-language Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Rudolf Schock navigates the notoriously difficult title role with remarkable ease, his lyrical voice handling the demands effortlessly, even if one wishes for a touch more vocal glamour. Wilma Lipp is a delight as Olympia, scaling the role’s stratospheric heights with élan. However, the most intriguing aspect of this performance is Martha Mödl’s alluring Giulietta, bringing her signature commitment to the character.
