What better Christmas treat than one of the most famous fairytales of all time and one of the most richly tuneful of all operas all brought to you in the atmospheric setting of the Royal Opera House.
This beautiful and delightful production by the favourite directing team of Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier and has Charles Mackerras and Rory Macdonald conducting a score that is packed with delights. The instantly memorable songs of the children, the atmospheric forest sounds, and the wonderful lilting waltz when Hansel and Gretel discover the magical gingerbread house. And then there's the wicked witch, with a kitchen that's maybe a bit scary for some of the youngest family members - after all, she does bake children into biscuits! But the ending is happy and the music triumphant, especially when sung by a charismatic cast that bring all the fun of the characters to life.
Hansel and Gretel is a fantastic way for all the family to enjoy the special thrill and charm of opera in live performance - whether for a seasonal family outing or the discovery of a classic work that has so much contemporary appeal.
Hansel Und Gretel is sung in German with English surtitles.
This production contains potentially disturbing images for very young or sensitive children.
