Les contes d’Hoffmann (1995 Teatro alla Scala di Milano) Act 2

Act 2, the Antonia act. The Antonia act is officially the second act of the show, though some productions will move it to be the third act on account of it being more “musically accomplished“ than the true third act, the Giulietta act. This means that much of Nicklausse’s material for this act (which makes reference to Olympia) is sometimes cut, but this production maintains the proper order and all the material.
