Richard Jones!! Another brilliant example of how to direct an opera!

Is the part of the Sandman for a mezzo?

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. OUR SECOND GRADE CLASS DID THIS PLAY IN 1943 AND I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG THROUGHT THE YEARS.

Perfect voice for this

We are doing the play version of Hansel and Gretel, and I was wondering if I please could get a video recording of this show. This is absolutely amazing! -FrenchTheatre

[Northcoastman]

The best sandman-perfomance I´ve ever seen, in every way! Bravo, Sasha Cooke!

[skitzo429]

i saw the HD broadcast of this live a few years ago, the sandman is super creepy haha

[newtonlih1985]

@regietheaterreckweg Perhaps not. I certainly prefer hearing the German to English translation. I certainly respect authorial intent, but I also just simply enjoyed this performance. What changes to the libretto were made besides the "shhh" to pip?

[newtonlih1985]

I actually love the more full voice they chose to sing this and to take out the "shhh" and replace it with the pip
