LA Opera's production of Hansel and Gretel, with an all-star cast that includes Lucy Schaufer as Hansel, Maria Kanyova as Gretel, and virtuoso character tenor Graham Clark as the delightfully wicked witch.
Some comments here have insinuated that Maria Kanyova is a "bad soprano" - I can assure you that she is an exceptional soprano and a very generous artist - a true professional. Judging a singer by one small clip is ridiculous.
You are quite wrong. Gretel is one of the most demanding roles a soprano can sing, and the music throughout the opera is very difficult. But I agree this production is a dog's dinner. For a very different take, have a look at the Bel Canto Opera production, posted by me on Youtube.
Looks like a great production!

Maria is incredible. I had the pleasure of singing in the chorus behind her for a few shows at Glimmerglass and her voice is astonishing

No. Just typical of a bad soprano.
