Hansel und Gretel brought Humperdinck worldwide fame but his tragic fairy story Konigskinder ('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.
