The composer of Hansel and Gretel, Engelbert Humperdinck, was born in Germany in 1854. In the 1890s, his sister, Adelheid Wette, had written a libretto based on the Grimm fairy tale, and asked her brother to set it to music as a Christmas entertainment for her children. Later, Engelbert and Adelheid decided to turn this modest home project into a full-scale opera. Hansel and Gretel, premiered on December 23, 1893 at Weimar, was an instant hit and remains an everlasting masterpiece. The composer Richard Strauss, who was the assistant conductor for the premiere, called it "a masterwork of the first rank."

In the fairytale forest, familiar characters meet with the poor siblings who get lost in the forest and the evil Knusperwitch. The story comes to a head in the famous gingerbread house, which may be cute on the outside but is a deathtrap on the inside. In 1893 Engelbert Humperdinck created what is probably the most famous fairy tale opera in the musical theater repertoire based on the Brothers Grimm. In Katharina Thalbach's staging, this model is enriched by further characters from Grimm's fairy tales, making it a festival for the whole family. Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf take children and adults alike on a musical journey, at the end of which the fall of the witches' kingdom and thus the victory of goodness stand - proclaimed by the disenchanted gingerbread children: »Redeemed, freed, for all time.
Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" is one of the most popular and best-selling operas, captivating children and adults alike. Dramaturg Bianca Heitzer provides an insight into the imaginative and fairytale-like production by director Katharina Thalbach and explains the literary models, the musical features and the context in which the work came into being.
