Hänsel and Gretel : opera in three acts after the fairy-tale by the brothers Grimm
Performance of Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel.
Hänsel und Gretel [Märchenspiel in drei Bildern]
Director Nathaniel Merrill and designer Robert O'Hearn work operatic magic in this brilliant production of Humperdinck's cherished favorite. What Christmas is complete without this sumptuous musical retelling of the classic fairy tale, replete with guardian angels, a sandman, dew fairy, and, of course, a witch and her enticing gingerbread house. This performance, sung in English, features Frederica von Stade as the loveable but mischievous Hansel and Judith Blegen as his charming sister Gretel. Rosalind Elias is the evil Witch.
An opera in two acts based on the Grimm fairytale.
Hansel and Gretel a children's opera
L'opéra est basé sur le conte de Grimm. Deux enfants s'éloignent de leur maison pour cueillir des fraises dans le bois. La nuit les surprend, ils s'endorment et ils sont attirés le lendemain par une sorcière qui habite un château tout en sucrerie. La sorcière veut s'emparer d'eux pour les mettre au four d'où ils sortiraient en pains d'épice. Mais, après un certain nombre de péripéties, les enfants parviennent à mettre la sorcière au four. Leurs parents arrivent après une longue recherche. Le four éclate. La sorcière en sort transformée en pain d'épice. Les enfants précédemment enlevés et transformés par la sorcière retrouvent leur aspect primitif et dansent joyeusement avec Hänsel et Gretel. L'oeuvre est, dans l'ensemble gracieuse et séduisante.
Hansel and Gretel
This deliciously dark take on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tale, appealing to audiences of all ages, was part of the Met's popular English-language holiday series. Alice Coote and Christine Schäfer star as the famous siblings lost in the woods, who battle the ravenous Witch--a zany portrayal by tenor Philip Langridge--while the Met orchestra, under the baton of Vladimir Jurowski, glories in the rich, folk-inspired score.

Hansel und Gretel
Hansel and Gretel : [Märchenspiel (Fairytale) in three acts]
"Johannes Felsenstein portrays abject poverty in moving images and depicts the strength of imagination with which Hansel and Gretel dream of a colourful world in which their mother and father lovingly care for them. The Christmas Eve scene with the witch game is reality for them, but remains an utopian dream. Despite the uniqueness of this interpretation of the story, it is both logical and consistent and makes it a piece of realist music theatre not just for children"--Container.
