Richard Jones’s wickedly funny production of Humperdinck¹s beloved opera stars Alice Coote and Christine Schäfer as the siblings lost in the shadowy world of the woods. They are pursued by tenor Philip Langridge as the Witch who seeks to devour them. Sung in English, this production was first seen as part of The Met: Live in HD in January 2008; this is a rebroadcast of that original performance.
