Greg Nagy's presentation included selections from Powell and Pressburger's The Tales of Hoffmann (1951).

(Did I mention that Simon Goldhill's was about John William Waterhouse?)

Best. Conference. Ever.

My best friend from childhood had him as a professor--she just loved him. And as for me, I just love The Tales of Hoffmann; I read them my junior year. Like the operetta, too. Or does it qualify as an opera?

Echoing nineweaving--more please!
