Alain Guingal, Alfredo Kraus, Barbara Hendricks - Offenbach: Les Contes d'Hoffmann [2003/1988]

The exceptional nature and high artistic quality of this performance justify publication of this video even though the filming was done only to preserve the performance for Teatro Regio's archives and therefore offers few close-up shots and occasionally unclear lighting.
