This fall, Fort Worth Opera presents a new, 60-minute, pop-up production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s (the German composer, not the Las Vegas act) enchanting fairy tale opera,Hansel and Gretel, in English. Based upon the beloved Brothers Grimm story, this family-friendly classic explores the perils of growing up, and reminds children of all ages to beware the witchy woods and never judge a book by its candy-coated cover. Cleverly reimagined for 21st century audiences, this innovative update features a witty, contemporary design, exhilarating performances from the talented FWO-TCU Lesley Artists, and a delightful chorus of gingerbread children.
