BBC PROMS 2010 Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London Presented by Martin Handley Glyndebourne Festival Opera brings Hansel and Gretel to the Proms. Humperdinck's tuneful opera adds layers of psychological meaning to Grimm's fairy tale of abandoned children, absent parents and things that go bump in the woods at night. A delicious blend of styles from the fairy-music of Mendelssohn to the opulent harmonies and orchestration of Wagner, this is children's opera for grown-ups. Act III Alice Coote, Hänsel Lydia Teuscher, Gretel Irmgard Vilsmaier, Mother William Dazeley, Father Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke, Witch Tara Erraught, Sandman Ida Falk Winland, Dew Fairy Glyndebourne Festival Chorus London Philharmonic Orchestra Robin Ticciati, conductor.
