See talented singers from the Aspen Opera Theater and Vocal ARTS program and a full orchestra conducted by Houston Grand Opera director Patrick Summers in a semi-staged performance of the beloved fairy-tale opera Hansel and Gretel directed by award-winning actress Joanna Gleason. Humperdinck began his career as an assistant to Wagner, and while you may detect many of the lessons he learned from his hero, there’s also a lightness which was Humperdinck’s own. It's loaded with elements even tastier than a gingerbread feast–suspense, horror, heroism, and a (literally) delicious villain, plus endlessly beautiful music. Enjoy the magic of Humperdinck’s opera at this one-night-only performance!

Run time is approximately 165 minutes plus a 20-minute intermission after Act 2.
