Opera: Hänsel & Gretel
Brainerd, MNSat Aug 9 - Sun Aug 10, 2025
Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts, Brainerd, MN
A classic tale set in Minnesota’s North Woods.
Get lost in the pines and lady slippers as we follow Hänsel and Gretel on their magical journey, with a luscious score by Engelbert Humperdinck and a world premiere production. Described as “a standout” by Opera News, Ariana Wehr makes her festival debut as Gretel alongside the Joy in Singing Foundation’s “Debut Artist of the Year,” Abigail Levis, as Hänsel. Children from the Northfield Youth Choirs and Brainerd’s Legacy Youth Chorale complete this heartwarming, family-friendly musical fairy tale.
