One-Act Touring Opera:

Hansel and Gretel

OSJ artists will present a one-act, condensed version of Engelbert Humperdinck’s classic opera Hansel and Gretel. Performed in English by OSJ’s fully-costumed singers with live piano accompaniment, Hansel and Gretel provides children with a positive experience of an artform that may be new to them, offering a fantastic introduction to opera and theatrical storytelling through music and voice (see video excerpts below.) Hansel and Gretel, which lasts approximately 45 minutes long including ten minutes for Q & A, costs $500 for one performance or $650 for two, back-to-back performances and includes a study guide.

To reserve your school’s performance,  Call Outreach Coordinator Lettie Smith at (408) 437-4464 or fill out an on-line booking form  after July 1, 2011.
