When Hansel and Gretel find themselves lost in the forest, they happen upon a house made of gingerbread. Unable to resist temptation, the siblings begin to eat the house, only to be captured by the witch who lives inside.
This opera made Humperdinck a household name after its first performance in December 1893.
Based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
