Hansel and Gretel at the Bonn Opera House
Engelbert Humperdinck's famous fairy-tale opera Hansel and Gretel will take the stage at the Bonn Opera House on November 22, 2026. The performance begins at 6:00 PM and is aimed at audiences aged six and older. Therefore, the performance is particularly suitable for families who wish to experience an opera evening together.
Thematically, the opera combines the fairy-tale story of Hansel and Gretel with musical theater for a younger audience. The focus is on two siblings, whose adventures are told in a fantastical world. The production in Bonn features a modern, comic-like design. The well-known fairy tale is thus presented in a contemporary stage form that is intended to appeal to younger viewers as well as adult companions.
