) | Label: Catalog: NBD0171V Format: BLU-RAY DVD Daniel Behle Olga Kulchynsk Josef Wagner Doris Soffel Chorus of Dutch National Opera Netherlands Philharmonic Orche, DANIEL BEHLEHänsel und Gretel brought Humperdinck worldwide fame but his tragic fairy story "Königskinder" (‘The King’s Children’) offers a stark contrast to it and has only begun to be revived in recent years. The doomed love of a goose girl and a prince – as they battle prejudice and are obstructed by magic – ends in their loving deaths, and with it a rebuke to the villagers who rejected them. This acclaimed production by the renowned German director Christof Loy features the award-winning singers – tenor Daniel Behle and Ukrainian soprano Olga Kulchynska.  Price: $42.98 |
