Humperdinck Hänsel und Gretel
Libretto by Adelheid Wette
Sung in English
Once upon a time there was a dark forest, two exuberant children, a gingerbread house to die for, and one wicked old witch. . .but anyone familiar with the writings of Carl Jung or Bruno Bettelheim knows that fairytales aren't just for children. This enchanting lyric adaptation of the Grimm Brothers fairytale is a joyous celebration of music for all ages.
