Diana Damrau and Angelika Kirchschlager star in this acclaimed 2008 production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s famous fairy tale opera. With a libretto based on the Brothers Grimm story, this classic opera features a host of characters including the Sandman, the Dew Fairy, and the Witch.
The trick, surely, lies in undercutting the warm glow of contentment that radiates from the prelude of the opera unwrapped here with gorgeous luminosity by Colin Davis and the Royal Opera Orchestra.
