Humperdinck's Märchenoper (“fairy-tale opera”) is a family affair, not just in the story of the brother and sister lost in the woods and nearly eaten by a wicked witch, but its libretto was written by none other than Humperdinck's sister. True to its origins in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Hansel & Gretel is a darkly beautiful work with a rich orchestration: it's definitely not just for kids. The Resident Artists of Pittsburgh Opera take the major roles in this new production, with performances at CAPA Theater Downtown.
In the title roles, first-year Resident Artist Suzanne Vinnik and second-year Resident Artist Stephanie Lauricella (Rinaldo, 2011; Dialogues of the Carmelites, 2011) appear as Gretel and Hansel. Alexandra Loutsion (The Barber of Seville, 2010; Rinaldo, 2011) sings the dual roles of Mother and the Witch, alongside new Resident Artist Kyle Oliver as Father. Pittsburgh Opera Head of Music Glenn Lewis conducts.
