  • This really should really be released by he Met. on DVD. just a great performance in every way. Even the camera work is superb throughout the performance as was the singers. James Morris's wife was in the cast and did a fine job also.

  • He was the Best Hoffmann I ever saw and acted it out like nobody else!

  • Fantastic singer and actor. The best Hoffmann.

  • What a great version of this aria! This is completely unrelated to the song, but does anyone else think Shicoff looks a little bit like Brent Spiner? 

  • Just an opinion after seeing PD do it in the 80's in house but Neil fits the role better and not only can he act but his high notes for me are far better then PD. Bravo! Great singing actor.

  • Thanks for this video! TALES OF HOFFMANN is one of my favorites, and I like to compare different singers in it. Mr. Shicoff's Hoffmann is superb -- no better than Domingo's, of course, but different , with more of an emphasis on the nervous side of the character.

    Right after Neil starrred in LA JUIVE at the Met I sent him a fan e-mail, and he answered it!

  • @babs22hh yes later in the 90's he did wear them as far as I know but this Hoffmann as his radio Brdcst of it just weeks before with same cast are his greatest Hoffman's both artistic vocally and his acting are superb here. Glasses or not he was great in this role, one of his best IMO.

  • love his version!

  • contacts?

    

  • I think this has to be the best Hoffman! Although my friend and I disagree often times in taste we both agree: nobody can move around the stage like he can! When he pushes his student you can tell it was a real push! And I can only imagine how scary it would be for the directors when he jumps on and off the table at the end! The ability to get so into a role and have so much trust in your fellow actors is really incredible!
