Hansel and Gretel is a fairy-tale opera (Märchenspiel) composed by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1891, who drew his inspiration from the well-known eponym tale collected by the Grimm Brothers. Much admired for its folk music-inspired themes, Hansel and Gretel is a classic of the operatic repertoire which has never ceased to be performed since its creation in 1893 in Weimar under Richard Strauss' baton. But besides this success, Hansel and Gretel plunges the audience into an enchanting world full of wonders, into childhood memories.
