Hey, In Chicago we have the world famous Lyric Opera of Chicago. I love that company, but the Met can do whatever they want in terms of how they may present an opera. They have been a friend of mine for years, I love the Met. Every Saturday my when they broadcast, I blast the music espeacially if it's Verdi, Struass, Mozart, or Handel. Believe me, people that live around me a getting a lesson in great music every week. They should, it's loud enough and I LOVE IT!!!

I don't have a problem with English translations, as long as they're GOOD English translations. This one isn't terrible - but one needs the subtitles to understand it! You didn't with von Stade and Blegen in the old Met DVD. That was a much better production overall.

There was a german TV-Production with a boy, who plays Hansel. and there is a recording with Brigitte Lindnder and eugen hug.
I do not have a problem with it being in English but these are the most serious Hansel and Gretel I have ever seen, in this scene which is the most playful they do not smile even a bit, they walk like if they were stupid and sing like old people, they are very boring kids, I do not like these singers' acting. For a great performance of Hansel and Gretel watch the one that Diana Damrau is in, at Covent Garden, there is not going to be one better than that one, both mezzo and soprano are amazing.

I think they're both wonderful. Great direction and production -- they're both insanely cute when they dance. 1:41 onwards is pure magic -- yes, Christine Schafer is yummy :D
