@AliceElphabaWonka Hahaha, at least it's better than what my aunt thought of the plot. She had never heard of Hansel & Gretel before. So when we left the opera, she couldn't stop talking about how disgusting and sexual it was (especially the witch eating children part), and she was being totally serious.

@AliceElphabaWonka Ever see the Cloris Leachman version? She actually holds a butcher knife above poor sleeping Gretel in order to get Hansel to concede to her wishes. omg.

hänsel und gretel is one of the finest operas ever written! every single piece is a masterpiece of its own...
-
@PTCello How can you say the plot is juvenille, these poor kids are going to be eaten by a bloodthirsty, evil witch! Sounds pretty scary and gruesome too me. lol

Wonderful music

Its dreamy

Because you wrote that the libretto is "a bit juvenile"
The overture always moves me deeply...the whole opera is wonderful(though the plot's a bit juvenile) and the overture is gorgeous. thank you for posting.
