with this treat of an opera...

In this classic fairy tale, a walk in the forest turns into a discovery of delights and frights. A gingerbread house tempts Hansel and Gretel's taste buds, but beware ... behind those sugar-coated gumdrop walls lurks a witch! Hansel and Gretel must stick together to free the forest from a wicked spell.Come see what two clever children can do!

A family opera based on the familiar Grimm's fairy-tale.
