Hansel and Gretel

It's every parent's nightmare: you've just scolded your children, and suddenly they've disappeared! Hansel and Gretel actually only wanted to gather a few berries to satisfy their hunger. Then, in the middle of the forest, they come across the strange little house of a passionate baker, the gingerbread witch. The secret ingredient in her gingerbread recipe? Children! In their hour of need, Hansel and Gretel prove their tremendous strength and defeat evil together.

Hansel and Gretel remains one of the most famous fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, to which Engelbert Humperdinck created a musical monument with his opera: as colorful as Richard Wagner, as gripping as an adventure story, and full of fantastical, playful magic.

Following the great success of her production of Pippi Longstocking, Dagmar Manzel takes on another classic of children's literature. She breathes new life into the magic of German fairy tales with all their inexplicable facets and their invincible belief in goodness.
