Come experience the wonder of opera through a story you know and love! Journey with Opera Roanoke into the woods, where magic and adventure await. This fully staged, family-friendly fairy tale brings the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale to life with lush music, colorful staging, and a touch of magic.
Follow Hansel and Gretel as they wander deep into the forest, stumble upon a gingerbread house, and come face to face with a wicked witch who has a hunger for more than just sweets!
Opera Roanoke is delighted to partner with the Botetourt Music Academy for this performance.
