— What You Can Expect —Step into the magical world of Humperdinck’s Hänsel & Gretel, a darkly whimsical opera that brings the classic fairytale to life at the Sydney Opera House. Lost in the woods and searching for home, two hungry siblings discover a tempting spun-sugar house—and a witch who is far from sweet. Can they outwit her and escape? This much-loved production by Elijah Moshinsky balances humour and heart with the darker edges of the Grimms’ tale, featuring imaginative sets and costumes by Mark Thompson. Conducted by Tahu Matheson, Humperdinck’s folk-inspired score adds warmth and wonder, making Hänsel & Gretel an enchanting first opera for newcomers and a nostalgic favourite for opera lovers. — Important Info —• Language: Performed in English with English surtitles• Venue: Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House • Duration: Approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes, including one interval
