KATRIN WUNDSAM at the Berlin State Opera

In keeping with Christmas tradition, the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden has once again programmed Hänsel und Gretel during the advent season, reviving Achim Freyer’s staged interpretation of Humperdinck’s 1893 fairy-tale opera just one year after the ceremonious re-opening of the opera house on Unter den Linden. Katrin Wundsam returns to her role of Hänsel – in which she can also be heard on a live recording from Berlin’s Philharmonie with the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin under Marek Janowski, released by Pentatone.
