<\/p>Congrats to winner: Gwendolen<\/em>\n

12\/20 Update: I saw the opera with an opera singing friend. (It turned out that the giveaway winner also sang with an opera in the past.) I was surrounded by experts. As a non-expert, I definitely recommend that everyone goes to see an opera at least once in their life \u2013 if only to hear the applause at the end\u2026 \u201cBravo!\u201d \u201cBrava!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

I loved the orchestra music of the performance. The acting was also very well-done. It was interesting to see cross-gender performances (which I learned are common). Hansel\u2019s role was performed by a women and the witch\u2019s role was (hilariously!) performed by a man. Overall, I enjoyed the performance \u2013 especially the third act. However, I would recommend against taking very young kids to this particular opera. It is very dark (which is to be expected from a Brothers Grimm tale) with bloody imagery that could have the potential for nightmares! (I guess that it depends on your kid though\u2026I did see several young kids in attendance \u2013 and they didn\u2019t appear traumatized.)<\/p>\n

There are many things that I love. I love the holiday season in New York. There is so much to see and to do. I especially enjoy attending events when I can take my family or friends. Best of all is when I can go AND my Mom in the City readers can come along also. That is why I\u2019m excited that I was sent 2 tickets to attend the Metropolitan Opera\u2019s season premiere of Hansel and Gretel AND 2 tickets to give to one lucky Mom in the City reader. I would advise that you use this as a date night or a girlfriend\u2019s night out type thing. I think that it is a little too \u201cdark\u201d for really young kids. Besides, it\u2019s on a Monday night\/school night. I\u2019ll be bringing a girlfriend (who happens to be an amazing singer!) with me since the opera is not my husband\u2019s cup of tea. The orchestra seat tickets are for opening night (Monday, December 14th) at 8:00 pm.

Below is the opera\u2019s short synopsis of the piece:
\n\u2026the Haunting, charming, and a little wicked, the Met\u2019s production returns as the season\u2019s special holiday presentation for families. Miah Persson and Angelika Kirchschlager are the lost siblings. Philip Langridge reprises his outlandish portrayal of the Witch in Humperdinck\u2019s take on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Sung in English and conducted by Fabio Luisi.

I also found a short snippet from a past performance of the opera on YouTube:
