(NYT57) NEW YORK -- Dec. 25, 2007 -- GRETEL-OPERA-REVIEW -- The Witch (Philip Langridge) has an industrial kitchen (the better for baking children) in "Hansel and Gretel" at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in December 2007. This new production, a surreal, sometimes baffling yet intriguing staging by the British director Richard Jones, was created for the Welsh National Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. It was brought to the Met by the general manager, Peter Gelb, as this season's special family fare. Last season's family offering was Julie Taymor's production of Mozart's "Magic Flute," trimmed to 100 minutes and performed in English. Humperdinck's compact opera needs no trimming; with an intermission the performance lasts just over two hours. It is performed in a very free English translation of the German by David Pountney, filled with clever rhymes and snappy vernacular. (Sara Krulwich/The New York Times)
