'The Tales of Hoffmann'

Music by JACQUES OFFENBACH  
English Words by EDWARD AGATE  
The Prologue-Act II-The Epilogue 
THE PROLOGUE 
Scene : Luther's wine cellar in Nuremberg 
A festive evening-Students drinking and singing. Hoffmann, poet and philanderer, is there with Nicklaus, his friend ; so is Town Councillor Lindorf, whose malignant influence permeates the three Tales. His rowdy friends urge Hoffman to sing the Legend of Kleinzack, a comic song from which his mind wanders midway to thoughts of his latest love affair. Finally he launches forth into a detailed description of three amorous episodes, one of which concerned the Lady Giulietta. 
ACT II 
Scene : Venice. A gallery in Giulietta's Palace, overlooking the Grand Canal 
A popular lady, this Giulietta, who entertains lavishly. Her guests include Hoffmann, Nicklaus, Dapertutto (Lindorf in a satanic incarnation), and Schlemihl, one of the courtesan's jealous admirers, who is subsequently slain in a duel by the infatuated poet. However, it is in the arms of another admirer that Giulietta glides away along the Canal out of the story, and out of Hoffmann's life. 
THE EPILOGUE 
Scene : The Nuremburg Wine Cellar 
Disillusioned and drowsy, Hoffmann seos a vision of his Muse, who assures him that in future his dreams shall be of her alone.
