A special New Year’s Day event. Most fairy tales, though charming on the outside, have darker underpinnings. Alice Coote and Christine Schäfer play the siblings lost in a shadowy world of unknown menace, pursued by the Witch (portrayed by tenor Philip Langridge) who seeks to devour them. The English-language production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s masterful treatment of the beloved story by the Brothers Grimm is the second in the Met’s annual series of special holiday presentations.Running Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes. 1 intermission. Sung in English.
This is a live transmission of a performance at The Metropolitan Opera. Sounds like an excellent idea. We’d love to get tickets and review this show and the experiment itself (hint, hint).
Tickets $23 adults, $21 seniors, $16 students.
New Year’s Day, January 1, 2008, 1 pm LIVE! Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Great Barrington, MA. For more information call the box office 413-528-0100.
