Hänsel und Gretel in Wuppertal

Engelbert Humperdinck's opera *Hänsel und Gretel* comes to Wuppertal for a special performance. Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, this work blends Wagnerian orchestral techniques with traditional German folk songs.

Attendees can expect a full staging of the opera, which premiered in Weimar in 1893 under the baton of Richard Strauss. The story follows two siblings lost in the forest, encountering a gingerbread house and a witch. Humperdinck's score and melodies make this a classic.

This performance offers a chance to experience one of the most popular operas ever written, in a city known for its vibrant cultural scene.
