UK Opera Theatre Hansel & Gretel

By Engelbert Humperdinck

Sung in English with English supertitles

Journey into the heart of a timeless tale with Engelbert Humperdinck's enchanting opera, Hansel and Gretel. This masterful operatic retelling of the Brothers Grimm classic brings a tender twist to the familiar story: Driven by abject poverty, Hansel and Gretel venture into the forest not abandoned, but sent by their mother in search of berries to nourish their struggling family. Lost and alone as night falls, they are visited by the gentle spirits of the Sandman, Dew Fairy, and protective woodland angels, set to some of the most exquisitely beautiful music found in the operatic repertoire. The dawn reveals the infamous gingerbread house, where the brave children must then confront the evil witch, fighting for their lives and their unbreakable bond.
