Hänsel and Gretel: A Fairy Opera in Three Acts by Humperdinck and Wette

"Hänsel and Gretel: A Fairy Opera in Three Acts" by Engelbert Humperdinck is an opera composed between 1891 and 1892. Based on the Grimm brothers' fairy tale, this beloved work follows two hungry children sent into a haunted forest to gather strawberries. As darkness falls, they lose their way and encounter mysterious terrors lurking among the trees. With folk-inspired melodies and the famous "Evening Benediction," Humperdinck's enchanting score transforms the classic tale of siblings facing a sinister threat deep in the woods.
