Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel is a fairy-tale opera that brings the beloved Brothers Grimm story to life with rich, lyrical music. It follows the journey of two siblings who, after being lost in the forest, encounter a magical gingerbread house belonging to a wicked Witch. Blending folk melodies with Wagnerian depth, the opera captures both the innocence and resilience of childhood while exploring themes of poverty, temptation, and triumph over evil. Its timeless score and enchanting story have made it a favorite for audiences of all ages.
