OFFENBACH's Les Contes d'Hoffmann – Opera in Concert
You may not know who OFFENBACH is, but chances are you've heard the beloved female duet Barcarolle…You may not know the opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann, but the dazzling "Les oiseaux dans la charmille," also known as "The Doll Song," is a favorite among coloratura sopranos around the world…
In March 2026, Weiwuying will present in concert the complete opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann, inviting audiences to explore a cross-temporal encounter between the most renowned German writer of the 19th century, E. T. A. HOFFMANN, and the most celebrated French opera composer, Jacques OFFENBACH. Three imaginative love stories, interwoven with soaring, dramatic melodies, come together to form one of the most timeless fantasies in music history—an operatic Black Mirror of the 19th century.
Weiwuying Artistic Director CHIEN Wen-pin conducts the Counterpoint Ensemble and Kaohsiung Chamber Choir, joined by an exceptional cast of Taiwanese vocalists. Soprano Jeannie CHIANG takes on the challenge of portraying all four roles, using her silvery, bell-like coloratura voice to embody the many facets of HOFFMANN's ideal lover. Mezzo-soprano WENG Jo-pei appears as the goddess Muse, guiding HOFFMANN, sung by tenor Fernando WANG, to narrate three strange and sorrowful tales of love. Baritone JUNG Ilhun shines in four roles, seamlessly weaving the stories together with vivid presence. The cast also features CHEN Pei-chi, LIN Yi-wei, Julian LO, LIAO Yu-meng, and CHANG Yin-chi, top talents of Taiwan's opera scene. Taipei Film Festival Best Actress Award and Golden Bell Award for Best Leading Actress, YIN Shin, makes her cross-disciplinary debut as the narrator. Together, they lead the audience in exploring the three women from HOFFMANN's stories: a perfect yet illusory automaton, a passionate but ill-fated opera diva, and a seductive courtesan with hidden motives. These fantastical tales, bursting with imagination and irresistible melodies, promise the triple charm of French opera captured in one unforgettable night. (Written by Eric LIEN)
