Summary

For many people, the opera The Tales of Hoffman is Jacques Offenbach’s masterpiece. It was written right towards the end of his life and in fact he died during the rehearsals. The opera is being presented by the UCT Opera School with an exciting cast and Jeremy Silver is conducting the Cape Philharmonic. The director of the opera is Steven Stead who has many credits to his name including opera, musicals and plays. I spoke to Steven in People of Note this week and asked him about his approach to this magical opera.
