Hansel and Gretel

Composer: Engelbert Humperdinck Librettist: Adelheid Wette

Step through the forest and into the enchanting world of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, a timeless adaptation of the Brothers Grimm tale that will captivate audiences of all ages. Brought to life by director/designer Antony McDonald in his company debut, this family-friendly production unfolds in a German romantic setting, full of dirndls, Alpine hats, and misty clouds.

The composer’s whimsical, sophisticated melodies, derived from German nursery songs, will hold audiences spellbound as they join Hansel and Gretel on their dangerous journey to the realm where the Witch reigns from her house of cake, topped with a shining red cherry.
