Why see San Diego Opera - Hansel and Gretel?

A family friendly treat!

Sumptuous and stunning, step deep into the enchanted wood with Hansel and Gretel as they encounter a wild fairytale world where anything could be lurking behind the next tree.

One for all the family, Hansel and Gretel is directed by Brenna Corner, directed by Ari Pelto and stars Blythe Gaissert as Hansel, Sara Gartland as Gretel and Joel Sorensen as the Wicked Witch!

What is the story of Hansel and Gretel?

After being sent into the haunted forest by their mother to pick strawberries, the young Hansel and Gretel fall prey to its biggest terror. Captivated by a strange house made of candy and gingerbread the hungry children soon start nibbling, only to realize that this is the house of the Wicked Witch, who loves to cook children and eat them. Will they outsmart her and escape the woods? Find out in this folk-inspired sugary hit!
