Center Stage Opera presents Hansel & Gretel.

by Engelbert Humperdinck

Libretto by Adelheid Wette

Come join us Sunday, June 23rd, for the performance of this classic opera, based on the fairytale by the Brothers Grimm.

In the present day, Hansel and Gretel is often considered a children’s opera. However, this opera is anything but child’s play. Its score contains a heavily Wagnerian orchestration and complex harmonic structure, tempered only by the inclusion of genuine children’s folk songs in Act 1, The Prayer in Act 2, and its variations throughout the opera.

Over the years, many portions of this opera’s music, especially the Witches’ Ride, have become part of our culture. Without a doubt, this opera is a treasure, and its music is a favorite to include in classical, symphonic and pop concerts.

The talented singers of Center Stage Opera bring this classic story to life.

The opera is sung in English.

Tickets: Adults $25 Students $10 (cash, check, and credit cards accepted)
