We have a Christmas favorite on this week’s Sunday Opera (12/21 3:00 p.m.) as we turn to Englebert Humperdinck’s 1892 Marchenoper or “fairytale opera,” “Hansel and Gretel” in an English Translation by Tom Hammond. It features Heidi Grant Murphy and Suzanne Mentzer in the title roles.

The holidays seem to induce memories, and some of them seem to be rather interesting. This is the case with this week’s Dress Circle (12/21 7:00 p.m.) and our playlist of songs from musicals and films that make up some of our holiday memories. Several of these may not be what you might expect.

Philadelphia-based Piffaro, The Renaissance Band is joined by New York Polyphony in this broadcast performance (Monday 11/24 at 8 pm), recorded last December.
