Monday, December 7: Hoffmann's Tales
presented by Desirée Mays


E.T.A Hoffmann, the author of such fantastic stories as "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (the basis for Tchaikovsky's famous ballet), and the tales that inspired Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann, was also a lawyer and even a composer. Desirée Mays shows us the Hoffmann behind The Tales of Hoffmann.
