Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, this timeless German masterpiece is at once delightful and haunting! Punished by their mother, young Hansel and Gretel are sent into the Ilsenstein Forest to look for strawberries, but cannot find their way home as night approaches. Scared and hungry, they come upon a cottage made of delicious gingerbread and are trapped by the evil witch who dwells within – until the clever and brave Gretel saves them! This magical story charms children with its visions of sweets, mystical woodland creatures, and an eerie and enchanting forest – and adults are entranced by its beautiful and sophisticated score by Engelbert Humperdinck. Sung in English with English supertitles.
