Hansel and Gretel are hungry. Deep in the forest, they discover the witch’s house. The thrilling adventure quickly turns into a fight for survival, in which only the children’s cunning can save them.

This opera is filled with suspense, entertainment, and chills. Beneath the fairy-tale magic lie darker themes of hunger, gluttony, and parents struggling with a loss of control.

This imaginative opera production has enchanted audiences around the world for over 20 years. Now, it arrives on the Main Stage of the Finnish National Opera in a brand-new Finnish translation.

Watch the live stream on Saturday 22 November at 1:45 p.m.
