Dear HM & any other Screen-L'ers looking for a copy of H&G (!),
 
There are any number of places to purchase a copy of Hansel & Gretel, but
in case you want to maximize your Kitsch-purchasing power, you might want
to call Facets Video, which is selling the astonishingly overdetermined
and, I suppose, unwittingly camp Met production ("filmed on Christmas
Day, 1982") at a discount: only $22.95. The (VHS format) order number is
S02629, and the Facets phone number is 800-331-6197. Other places to call
would be any opera company book/record/cd/video shop, including, for
example, the SF Opera Gift Shop or the Met Gift Shop - the latter's phone
# is 212/ 580-4090. Both carry a variety of video productions, not just
in-house productions. I hope that's helpful.
 
By the way, this response seems to open up a further area of discussion
for the question of gender-bending, for cross-dressing in opera is, of
course, another realm where "passing" is at issue, even if the issue is
largely suppressed in operatic criticism... But that's another posting.
