Tales of Hoffmann is an opera by Jacques Offenbach that tells the story of a poet named Hoffmann and his three love affairs, each involving a different woman: Olympia, Antonia, and Giulietta to beautifully convey the fantastical nature of the stories he tells and the passage of time,
I decided to incorporate the four seasons into this five-act opera. The emotions and climaxes of the story are represented through the weather.
To capture the magical and fantastical moments in Hoffmann's work, the use of green screen filming techniques was necessary. Singers were filmed, and different content was created to enhance the storytelling and highlight the aesthetic elements more effectively.
