From our pre-show discussion of what opera is and about positive personal and social behavior to our fun post-show talkback, Hansel and Gretel brings all the joy and beauty of learning to children in an accessible, educational format. To add to the fun we utilize five students in non-speaking, costumed roles. This classic story of a brother and sister and the consequences of their actions is a great way to teach kids about honesty, safety, and responsibility.
