Hänsel und Gretel

Master of Music (Opera Performance), Master of Production (Stage) and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Orchestra Students present Engelbert Humperdinck's 1893 opera, Hänsel und Gretel. It presents a darker, more mature interpretation of the beloved opera in its original German with English surtitles. This adaptation of the Grimm Brothers' folktale, with a libretto by Humperdinck's sister, Adelheid Wette, is crafted especially for devoted opera enthusiasts.

In the afternoons of 11 -14 December, we are also presenting a shortened and more child-friendly rendition of this opera, Hansel and Gretel for Schools and Families, presented in English. For more information and tickets, visit this link.
