DEUTSCHE OPER BERLIN
For over a hundred years Engelbert Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel has been one of the most popular operas for the entire family, traditionally performed around Christmas and known as a “sacred festive play for the nursery.” What the composer began in 1890 as a piano piece was to become, three years later, a full-blown opera. Humperdinck had been unable to resist the temptation to change the work, with its catchy tunes and dramatic appeal to children and adults alike, into a two-hour symphonic masterpiece. It was translated into over twenty languages and remains to this day many children's very first contact with opera.
