April 25 @ 9:45 am - 10:30 am
Join us for this fantastic “OperaTunity” as Arizona Opera presents “Hansel & Gretel vs. The Witch”! This new adaptation of Humperdinck’s classic opera turns the famous story of the witch and those crafty kids on its head. Narrated by Hansel—all grown up—he explains what actually went on in that fantastical gingerbread house. This fun, fast-paced show is sure to delight audiences of all ages while using familiar characters to shed light on relevant themes. Did Hansel and Gretel learn to find their own way out of the woods? Did they grow from their experience? Did the Witch become a force for good instead of evil? You will have to wait and see…. There will be two performances at 9:45am & 11:00am. The length of the show is 35 minutes with a 10 minute Q&A following each performance. This production is geared towards children in the pre-K-5th grade and is free with paid Museum admission. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
