Hansel and Gretel 胡伯定克 韓賽兒與葛麗特

1893 年，《海恩塞爾與格萊特》首演即大獲成功，從此吸引了各年齡段的觀眾。恩格爾貝特-漢波丁克根據格林兄弟的故事改編了這部童話歌劇，將德國民間曲調的質樸與瓦格納音樂技巧的精湛融為一體。理查-施特勞斯（Richard Strauss）指揮了該劇的首演，並稱其為最高品質的傑作。該劇於 1923 年在考文特花園播出，是有史以來第一部通過廣播播出的完整歌劇，八年後又成為第一部從大都會歌劇院現場直播的歌劇。

原文簡介:
An instant and overwhelming success upon its first performance in 1893, Hänsel and Gretel has captivated audiences of all ages ever since. Engelbert Humperdinck combined the simplicity of German folk tunes with the sophistication of Wagnerian technique in a fairy-tale opera, based on the story by the Brothers Grimm. Richard Strauss, who conducted the premiere, proclaimed it "a masterpiece of the highest quality." Broadcast from Covent Garden in 1923, it was the first complete opera ever aired on radio, and eight years later it was the first to be transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera.
