Puppentheater "Hänsel & Gretel"

Hansel and Gretel or the crispy witch lives on the Ilsenstein.

Who hasn't heard the fairy tale about the two children who get lost in the forest and are then caught by the evil crispy witch?

Engelbert Humperdinck has relocated the plot of his fairytale opera to the Ilsenstein, "where the forest is darkest". Together with his sister Adelheid Wette, the late Romantic composer chose an early version of the Hansel and Gretel story by the Brothers Grimm as the basis for his children's opera. Many well-known children's songs: "Suse, liebe Suse", "Ein Männlein steht im Walde", "Backe, backe Kuchen" have been incorporated into the composition. However, new children's songs, which later became folk songs, were also composed for the opera. "Brüderchen komm tanz mit mir" and the "Abendsegen" are among them.
