Wanted to alert Bay Area folks that Berkeley Opera has put together a very good production of Tales of Hoffmann, with a clever English adaptation by David Scott Marley.  It comes together very well--singing, acting, orchestral playing, costumes, sets.  Three more performances  this week.  I'll leave the reviewing to someone with more expertise--I enjoyed it a great deal!
