HUMPERDINCK Hansel and Gretel
Fully-staged production, sung in English with supertitles
118'

When the Thanksgiving hubbub subsides, bring the kids and your friends and wrap up your weekend at Orchestra Hall. Humperdinck's utterly delightful opera is staged with great soloists, dancers and magical, eye-popping 18-foot puppets. All these to tell the tale of a little boy and girl who wander lost into the woods, but emerge reunited with their rejoicing parents.
