The Met’s classic storybook staging as performed on Christmas Day 1982
“No singers today play Hansel and Gretel more convincingly or sing them more enchantingly [than Frederica von Stade and Judith Blegen].” – New York Daily News
This classic Met production “cheerfully evokes a magic world of woodland sprites and candy dreams,” wrote the New York Post reviewer, praising Elias’s “broadly comic witch,” Blegen’s “merry and nimble” Gretel, and von Stade’s “vocal majesty and dramatic integrity” as Hansel. “Even the sourest Scrooge or Grinch,” said the New York Times, “would have to smile when the witch is bested (and basted) and the stage suddenly fills with her revived victims: a beaming bevy of children in dapper folk-tale costume.”
