Hänsel und Gretel

In the organizer's words:

Fairytale play in three pictures by Engelbert Humperdinck

Text by Adelheid Wette based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm

Co-production with the Théâtre du Capitole Toulouse

Entire generations of young and old audiences have had their first encounter with musical theater through Engelbert Humperdinck's fairytale play. The popular work is back on the Nuremberg opera stage just in time for Christmas. In Andreas Baesler's exciting production, the forest and the witch's house are the dark underbelly of the bourgeois living room in Humperdinck's time. "Mighty applause for a wonderful evening in both senses of the word, which is perhaps too beautiful to be real. Go and see it." (Nordbayerischer Kurier)
