It's the well-known story of the two poor broom-maker children who got lost in the woods and fell into the clutches of the evil witch Rosina Leckermaul. The music is also ringing in the ear, as the composer Engelbert Humperdinck has embedded folksy, catchy melodies in the richness of a late-Romantic orchestral apparatus.

“Hansel and Gretel” belongs on the pre-Christmas opera schedule like gingerbread on a crispy house. The cult production by Andreas Meyer-Hanno is just as irresistible as the sweet pastries.
