This Hansel & Gretel is not sugary and sweet, it’s a decidedly dark and delicious confection. Richard Jones’ endlessly inventive production of Humperdinck’s gorgeous opera revels in the story’s more sinister moments whilst also casting a magical spell over audiences.
Co-production with Lyric Opera, Chicago.
