Hansel and Gretel is a fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm's collection and one of the most famous in Western culture. Engelbert Humperdinck's opera is based on the fairy tale and is considered the most popular children's opera in history.

Bergen National Opera has created a completely new and imaginative production that will go on tour in the West Country in the autumn of 2017. Five singers, together with children from local schools, will perform at eight venues in the West Country. With innovative visual effects and virtuoso piano accompaniment, you can expect an exciting performance where Hansel and Gretel are put to the test by unexpected dangers and a scary witch!

Director James Bonas is known for his highly imaginative work for children and young people. Elisabeth Gimmestad has the role of Grete and Rita Therese Ziem sings the role of Hans.

Pupils from schools where Hans and Grete are staged take part in the performance: Os Barnes School, Hystad School in Stord, Steiner School in Bergen, Gullfjordungen School in Voss, Førde Barnes School, Hognestad School in Bryne, Undarheim School in Husnes and Storevarden School in Sola.
