**Date and Time Change due Heat and Previous Weather** We are excited to welcome back to Lady Hill Lark Opera, presenting Humperdinck’s beloved fairytale opera, Hansel & Gretel, which follows the two children as they laugh, fight and play. Ultimately, they must trust each other, and their wits, to outsmart the witch who intends to eat them.
Performance will be hosted outdoors, on our South lawn, sung in English, with piano accompaniment. Wine will be available for purchase. And you’re welcome to bring a picnic dinner. Chairs and tables provided, or bring your own lawn chair or blanket. Masks required when not at your seat. Ticket/donations available HERE
About the opera
Often performed at Christmas time in Europe, this opera is a favorite of young and old alike. The characters are relatable and engaging. The complex, Wagner-inspired music carries listeners through diverse moods and atmospheres: from jovial to dreamy, from innocent to suspenseful. Interestingly, this opera began its life as a children’s puppet play, which Librettist Adelheid Wette originally wrote for her family. Her brother wrote a few songs for it. Eventually, they collaborated to transform it into a full opera. It premiered in 1893 under the baton of Richard Strauss.
