Magic, mischief, and mouth-watering temptation collide in Humperdinck’s enchanting opera Hansel and Gretel — a tale that proves bravery can outsmart even the hungriest of witches.

When two curious children wander into the forest in search of adventure, they stumble upon a gingerbread house that’s not quite as sweet as it seems. Filled with soaring melodies, laughter, and a few deliciously dark twists, this production captures the wonder and peril of childhood imagination. Created in collaboration with local schools, Hansel and Gretel brings young voices and community spirit to the stage. A joyful celebration of music, storytelling, and the magic of working together.
