Hansel and Gretel 胡伯定克 韩赛儿与葛丽特

1893 年，《海恩塞尔与格莱特》首演即大获成功，从此吸引了各年龄段的观众。恩格尔贝特-汉波丁克根据格林兄弟的故事改编了这部童话歌剧，将德国民间曲调的质朴与瓦格纳音乐技巧的精湛融为一体。理查德-施特劳斯（Richard Strauss）指挥了该剧的首演，并称其为最高质量的杰作。该剧于 1923 年在考文特花园播出，是有史以来第一部通过广播播出的完整歌剧，八年后又成为第一部从大都会歌剧院现场直播的歌剧。

原文简介:
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.
