Description: DESCRIZIONE PRODOTTO
Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel steeped in the guileless world of folk-song: the children's songs and dances, the idyllic forest scenes, the supernatural material and the central thematic chorale are all rooted in German traditional music. The conductor Franz Welser-Most draws this impressive diversity of sound from the orchestra of the Zurich Opera House. Frank Corsaro's production was designed by Maurice Sendak. They have worked together on numerous highly-acclaimed opera stagings, all noted for their striking visual impact.

Sendak is renowned worldwide for his classic children's books. His vivid, magical and often disturbing imagery is perfect for the fairytale world of Hansel und Gretel. He expands the Witch's gingerbread cottage into an entire farmyard of sweetmeats, complete with windmill.

The house has a life of its own, with menacing, glowing eyes, which also dominate the stage during the 'Witch's Ride' interlude.

This production of Humperdinck's endearing and musically adroit opera will entrance adults and children alike.
