About Opera North’s Hansel & Gretel: Re-Imagined

Come with us for an evening of theatre magic!

Pupils from schools across Doncaster are joining forces to perform a specially commissioned version of Englebert Humperdinck's Hansel & Gretel arranged by William Cole, with a libretto translated by David Pountney and revised by Roxana Cole.

We will be joined by students from Richmond Hill, Bentley High St, Woodlands, Woodfield, Willow and Townfield primary schools who will be performing as part of a massed choir, accompanied by professional singers and members of the Orchestra of Opera North.
