Hansel and Gretel

Once upon a time, two children found themselves lost in the woods–until they happened upon a house made entirely of sweets. What happens next, well that’s the story of Hansel and Gretel. The timeless fairy tale comes to life for the holiday season in this delightful WNO production. Engelbert Humperdinck’s captivating opera, directed by David Gately, stars the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artists with the WNO Orchestra conducted by Michael Rossi. The Washington Post declared Hansel and Gretel “a great idea… As enjoyable as it is to rediscover classical music around the holidays, it’s even better to experience it for the first time.” Recommended for age 9 and up.
