Yale Baroque Opera Project is presenting what is thought to be the first fully staged version in 35 years of Cavalli's "Sciopione Affricano," and Opera Theater of Connecticut gets into the holiday spirit with its reduced- length version of "Hansel and Gretel," in English, accompanied by piano with a children's chorus and dancing angels.
