ODEON and the internationally renowned Glyndebourne Festival Opera are proud to present a vibrant new production of Hänsel und Gretel on the big screen this autumn. The opera will be shown in high definition with Dolby Digital sound.
Laurent Pelly’s fresh and vibrant setting of Hänsel und Gretel is Glyndebourne’s first ever staging of Humperdinck’s masterpiece from the 2008 Festival. Like all great fairy tales, the story has darker underpinnings, evident in Humperdinck’s lush orchestral writing which accompanies the lost siblings’ journey through a shadowy world of unknown and limitless menace.
“…Laurent Pelly's poetic, witty and imaginative modernising of Hänsel und Gretel gives fresh vitality to Humperdinck's adorable masterpiece.” - The Daily Telegraph
