Blind dates can be the worst, especially when you’re paired with a mechanical doll, a ghostly apparition, or a shadow-stealing courtesan. We present a reimagined production of The Tales of Hoffmann from Skylight Music Theatre and Milwaukee Opera Theatre. It tells of poet E.T.A. Hoffmann’s unending search for true love, doing so with humor, some magic, and Offenbach’s most memorable melodies.
