Review title: Stinks to High Heaven
Product review: This version of Jacque Offenbach's wonderful opera "Tales of Hoffman" stinks to high heaven! The set (there was only one set), the costumes (virtually non-existent), and even the singing were distortions of the worst kind. I am hard put to give this DVD the dignity of a single star. It is a total waste of money in purchasing it and of time in watching/listening to it. I'm very much surprised it was even produced by the Lyon, France opera company. Once produced, it should never have been marketed to a gullible public. Unfortunately reviews of this abomination were unavailable to me when I purchased it. Had reviews been available, I would have avoided it like the plague. I quickly threw it in the trash after playing it only once.
