Step inside a world of magic, music and imagination as Opera Australia brings the much-loved tale Hansel & Gretel to life at the iconic Sydney Opera House — with a distinctly Australian twist.
This vibrant production reimagines the classic Brothers Grimm story for modern audiences. Blending rich orchestral music played by a live orchestra, striking visuals and playful storytelling to create an unforgettable experience for all ages. Sung in English and infused with contemporary Aussie touches, the opera invites families, first-time opera-goers and long-time fans alike, to fully connect with the story and its characters.
Starring Margaret Plummer and Stacey Alleaume, who play the mischievous siblings Hansel & Gretel, the production is ripe with sibling chemistry that brings humour and heart to the performance. Adding a delicious dose of dark magic is the wonderfully wicked Witch, portrayed by acclaimed soprano Jane Ede, in the operatic role of a lifetime.
The story of Hansel & Gretel continues to resonate with audiences more than a century after it was first written, and is a stunning operatic production that appeals to all ages and generations.
