This much-admired work is full of folk tunes and well-known themes, including the beloved “Evening Prayer” in Act II.  Based on the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale of the same name, the opera is a fun journey with Hansel and Gretel who get lost in the forest and encounter a witch who lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake, and candy.  We won’t spoil the ending, if you don’t already know it (and you probably do), but we hope you’ll join us to experience this marvelous tale once again.
