POTSDAM -- The "The Met: Live in HD" continues Jan. 31 with Offenbach's "Les Contes d'Hoffman" at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.
The operas will be in high definition and digital surround sound at 12:55 p.m. on Saturday with an encore performance set for Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m.
The magnetic tenor Vittorio Grigolo takes on the tortured poet and unwitting adventurer of the title of Offenbach’s operatic masterpiece, in the Met’s wild, kaleidoscopic production. Hibla Gerzmava, Erin Morley, and Christine Rice sing the three heroines, each an idealized embodiment of some aspect of Hoffmann’s desire.
Thomas Hampson portrays the shadowy Four Villains, and Yves Abel conducts the sparkling score.
