Hansel and Gretel reads funny to me ;) - That one should be in German without discussion, only I have no time for arguments, same as Der fliegende Holländer, the only Wagner opera with an English name. Off for today, but need to nominate the sisters for DYK. Project opera goeds for native names, see all the Italian and French operas. --

You'll find that the Opera Project's guidelines on names,
WP:OPERATITLE, don't necessarily favour native titles. Where it's standard practice to use an English title, Wikipedia uses that, too. If the standard name for this work is Three Sisters, it should be used here. If it's Tri sestri (I don't think nouns are capitalised in Russian), we should use that. In either case, REDIRECTs will ensure readers find it. --
