Tales of Hoffmann – the Legend of Kleinzach – YouTube

This is an example of good staging. The song is the Kleinzach aria from Tales of Hoffmann, on opera by Offenbach. The only drawback with the video is that there are no subtitles. So, here’s your homework for today: go look up the lyrics. The story Hoffmann is telling the audience is about a creepy little dwarf… then he gets distracted singing about his sweetheart… and then he gets back on topic. More or less. Enjoy!

He showed me this, and I have to share, because it’s just too cool:
