The Department of Theatre and Dance presents “Hansel and Gretel” by Engelbert Humperdinck. This magical
opera, based on the Brothers Grimm story, boasts one of the most beautiful scores in the repertory and begins with two hungry siblings venturing into the forest looking for food. Their adventures include finding a house made of candy and outwitting a witch who wants to turn them into yummy desserts. Eventually Mother and Father find them safe and sound and the whole family rejoices in gratitude for being reunited.
