Watch 2022 Hansel and Gretel for Schools
Overview
A brother and sister are sent outside to hunt for berries. An adventure in the woods, with both helpful and scary neighbors, leads Hansel and Gretel to test their wits and trust each other, so they can find their way home again. Does a gingerbread house in the woods ever have a happy ending?
This playful take on Humperdinck's gorgeous opera will weave a suspenseful and hilarious opera experience for students and families.
