An opera by Paul Hindemith in three acts and four scenes, Cardillac is loosely based on E.T.A Hoffmann’s ‘Das Fräulein von Scuderi’. The show tells the story of its eponymous character, a goldsmith with a serious issue when it comes to being possessed by jewellery. Tough gig. How will the people of Paris react to a spate of mysterious murders? With style, we’re sure about that.
