Opera by Engelbert Humperdinck

In Engelbert Humperdinck's enchanting opera "Hänsel und Gretel," the magical world of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale comes to life. Siblings Hänsel and Gretel, sent into the forest by their impoverished parents, stumble upon a fantastical realm full of mystical creatures and dangers, including a witch who lures them into her house. As they navigate this journey, the siblings must rely on their cunning and courage to outsmart the witch and liberate the enchanted children of the forest.


Their adventure takes a dark turn when they encounter a wicked witch who lures them into her candy-coated gingerbread house. Using their wits and bravery, the siblings outsmart the witch, breaking her spell and freeing the forest's enchanted children. With themes of courage, love, and the triumph of good over evil, this opera weaves a spellbinding tale that captivates audiences of all ages.
