Hansel and Gretel – An Opera in Concert marks the very first public presentation of National Youth Opera Aotearoa, a newly formed national training platform based in Hawke’s Bay and drawing talented young singers from across Aotearoa New Zealand. This special performance is conducted by the celebrated Lada Valešová, a Czech-born pianist and conductor known internationally for her work at the Royal Opera House, Opera Holland Park, and major European festivals. Valešová is admired for her sensitive musicianship and her deep commitment to nurturing emerging artists, making her the perfect leader for NYOA’s inaugural event.This is a delightful Opera in Concert performance of Engelbert Humperdinck’s beloved classic Hansel and Gretel, presented in a family-friendly format. Tickets are offered on a koha / pay-what-you-can basis to ensure full community access, with a generous contribution from Mayceys Sweets. As a special treat, every child receives a free bag of sweets at the performance.
