Introduction to »Hansel and Gretel« by Engelbert Humperdinck Frankfurt Opera

SYNOPSIS
It was his sister Adelheid Wette who persuaded Wagner fan Engelbert Humperdinck to set some of her verses to music in the 1890s. These proved such a success with the family that he set about turning it into a full-scale opera, which was first seen in 1893.

Warner‘s rich in fantasy, psychologically fine reading of Humperdinck‘s opera brings the unconscious into focus: »The wonderful thing about the story is that Hansel and Gretel are determined not to pass their experiences on to the next generation. Their struggle against evil has taught them to look for a good path through life.«

Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck, From (2022/2022), Directed by Keith Warner,, Conductor Leo Hussain, Takeshi Moriuchi, Opernhaus, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
