Lost in the woods after wandering from home, siblings Hänsel and Gretel encounter a mysterious cottage filled with tempting treats—and a witch with sinister intentions. Engelbert Humperdinck's beloved opera transforms the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale into a lush, magical adventure featuring unforgettable melodies and soaring choruses. Performed in German, this production explores the enduring tale through a haunting new lens while featuring a new chamber orchestration by University of Iowa alumnus Sangguen Choi.
