Approved

This marvelous operatic tale opens with a children's bedroom setting. It's late… Gretel who is afraid of the dark, drags herself to sleep and opens a storybook even though her mother has forbidden her. The room then comes alive with frightening shadows and strange sounds. The children are immersed in a nightmare dream from which emerges a witch who casts a spell on them to kidnap them with the intention of eating them... But thanks to their fraternal complicity, they get out of it by trapping the witch who is transformed into gingerbread. The morning brings us back to reality when the children exult with joy in finding the protective arms of their relaxed and smiling mother.
A clever mix of “light” music and moments of great dramatic intensity, this tale that will delight young and old is brought to us by the Opéra Grand Avignon!
