"Hänsel und Gretel" is a German opera by Engelbert Humperdinck, based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, about two children who get lost in a forest and encounter a gingerbread house inhabited by a witch. The opera tells the story of Hansel and Gretel being sent into the forest to find strawberries, their misadventures, their discovery of the witch's house, and their eventual escape and return home. The opera is known for its charming melodies, often drawing from German folk songs, and its blend of accessible and sophisticated musical styles.
Sung in German with English supertitles.
