Juan Felsenstein's production of HANSEL AND GRETEL presenta it with every sinister elemento removed. The children remain in a setting home with their own bed central to the scene and the barest hint of a forest subyacente, mientras que su padre plays the witch as en amiable, totalmente de beneficencia figure, emergencia de lo siniestro at all, even unirse a ellos en el final de la joyful conjunto. When they sing that the witch is dead, you find that the production contradicts that completely. Taking that unsinister stance means that the opera suelto much of its bite. No doubt Felsenstein felt that it would make the piece more accessible for very young children, sin embargo muchos de ellos se relish the sinister elemento. That said, it is a strong and capable rendimiento, very well conducted and with a cast of good if not a destacados cantantes. One wonders what Felsenstein meant to comunicar, just as it is not clear why the central characters should regularly be carrying dolls. A highly individual version of a much-me encantó la opera.
