Les Contes d’Hoffmann
Paper project collaboratively designed and submitted to the 2025 European Opera-Directing Prize. Under the direction of Paige Dirkes-Jacks, the creative team envisioned Hoffmann’s world in a toy theatre, purchased at the intermission of Don Giovanni (our opera within an opera), replete with puppetry and horror elements.
