Lyric remounts its claustrophobic and surreal take on Hansel and Gretel -- just in time for the grayest days of winter.|✍️ DeannaIsaacs👇
This surrealistic production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s 1893 opera version of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale—seen twice before at Lyric—should probably be a Christmas show. But since Joffrey became Lyric’s roommate, we’re getting it now. Visually it’s nightmarish, claustrophobic, and monochromatic as a gray January day—but also striking: think fish-headed dream-scene maitre d’ overseeing a troop of charmingly grotesque winged chefs .
Revival director Eric Einhorn has the plucky duo of mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey, as Hansel, and soprano Heidi Stober, as Gretel, going big on the comically juvenile body language, while mezzo-soprano Jill Grove’s witch—not well served by her nice-lady street-clothes costume—is underplayed.Through 2/5: Fri 7 PM, Sun 2 PM, Wed 2 PM; audio description Sun 1/29; Lyric Opera House, 20 N.
