In Jacques Offenbach's beautifully staged opera, university student Hoffmann (Robert Rounseville) experiences doomed love affairs. For example, Hoffmann romances Olympia (Moira Shearer), but she turns out to be a life-sized mechanical doll. His other romances with Giulietta (Ludmilla Tcherina) and Antonia (Anne Ayars) also result in failure, but, in the process, Hoffmann learns to turn those bad experiences into art.
