Information: Costume of the courtesan for The Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach.
The courtesan is the character of Giulietta, who embodies the poet's third love in the act set in Venice. After his misadventures with the doll Olympia and the opera singer Antonia, Hoffmann arrives in Venice and falls for the sultry courtesan Giulietta, despite having sworn never to love again. Indeed, the malevolent Captain Dapertutto had promised the courtesan a magnificent diamond if she could seduce Hoffmann and steal his reflection with a magic mirror, as she had done with her previous lover.
