Can true art only come from pain?
The poet Hoffmann tries to come to terms with his unhappy love for the singer Stella by letting it unfold in three fantastic stories about three women: Olympia, the soulless automaton woman, Antonia, the soulful singer who has to give her life for art, and the courtesan Giulietta using his love as a wager. He places himself in a (fictitious) relationship with each of these women and thus experiences his failure repeatedly.

With his last stage work, Jacques Offenbach, the inventor of the operetta, created a monument to the poet ETA Hoffmann that he was no longer able to unveil to the public. Only in 1881, four months after Offenbach's death, was the work premiered in Paris in a version completed by Ernest Guiraud.
