The Eklund Opera Program invites you to take a magical journey in which powerful operatic voices and a Wagner-inspired orchestral score bring to life the beloved opera Hänsel and Gretel. Guided by angels, a Sandman and a Dew Fairy through a wondrous and sometimes frightening forest, they'll outsmart a wicked witch in a candy-coated cottage and bravely rescue the gingerbread children. Indulge your imagination with this delightful adventure for all ages!
