A Gritty Urban Fairy Tale

​

Set on the neon-lit streets of a sprawling modern city, our reimagined Hänsel und Gretel transforms the classic opera into a dream-like urban retelling. Two rebellious teens navigate alleyways, concrete jungles, and a mysterious 24-hour vape-sweet shop run by the magnetic Gingerbread Witch.  ​It’s a story of hunger, temptation, and identity, wrapped in vapor clouds and glittering illusions—a spectacle that challenges the traditional setting, whilst still respecting its context.  

​

The production will be sung in German with English surtitles.  Running time 120mins with interval.

​

We loved bringing this show with three different casts to The Space in February 2026 - so much so that we are bringing it back!!! From December 3rd to December 6th -  Chad Vindin joins Panaretos Kyriatzidis as joint Music Directors for six shows with various casts...  Tickets available soon!
