No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to its most famous building. And the best thing to do when you visit the Sydney Opera House is to come inside and see an opera performance.

Deep in the dark woods, Hansel and Gretel are hungry and looking for home. Just when it all seems hopeless, they stumble upon a spun-sugar house and an eccentric woman, who's not as sweet as she seems. Will the plucky siblings outwit the wicked witch?

This whimsical production is a classic from acclaimed director Elijah Moshinsky, with plenty of humour and heart to balance the dark undertones of the Grimms' fairytale. Familiar characters roam a surreal storybook world, with larger-than-life sets and costumes by Mark Thompson and an all-star Australian cast

Performed in English, Hansel & Gretel is an enchanting first opera for newcomers, and a nostalgic treat for opera fans.
