Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck is a delicious operatic treat – set to a sumptuously rich score, sprinkled with comedy, adventure, and more tunes than you can shake a candy cane at, this show follows the classic story by the Brothers Grimm and features all the familiar characters but with a few surprises!
