Extra info: this operatic fantasy is based on three tales by ETA Hoffmann, who is himself the main character in the opera. with copious references to Don Giovanni, we follow Hoffmann as he falls in and out of love with three different women, and is doggedly pursued by The Muse, who wants him to devote his life instead to the love of poetry. Robert Carsen provides a beautiful, rich and lush staging.

Kyiv-based artist Alexey Kondakov uses surrealistic documentary photography to superimpose figures from classical artwork into everyday scenes of modern life. He is renowned for his Photoshopped collage series in which Kyiv, Ukraine served as the backdrop for characters from old world masterpieces. The artist merges the past and the present, showing with a deft eye how classical figures fit seamlessly into contemporary situations that, in themselves, are timeless.
