Join the DVO for three special matinee performances, in a special holiday production for the whole family. Hansel and Gretel's composer, Engelbert Humperdinck, described it as a fairy tale opera, and in fact, the libretto was written by Humperdinck's sister based on the famous Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. Hansel and Gretel is much admired for its folk music-inspired themes, especially the famous Abendsegen (Evening Benediction) from Act II.

The idea for Hansel and Gretel was proposed to Humperdinck by his sister, who approached him about writing music for songs that she had written for her children for Christmas, based on the Grimm Brothers' popular fairy tale, Hänsel und Gretel. After several revisions, the musical sketches and the songs were turned into a full-scale opera.

Humperdinck composed Hansel and Gretel in Frankfurt am Main in 1891 and 1892. The opera was first performed in Weimar on 23 December 1893, conducted by Richard Strauss. It has been associated with Christmas since its earliest performances and today it is still most often performed at Christmas time.

Did You Know... Hansel and Gretel was the first complete Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast performance, on Christmas Day in 1931.
