HANSEL AND GRETEL
La Tartana presents a piece performed with more than twenty different puppets using all kinds of techniques, lights, shadows and colours. Flowers become fairies, cuckoos come out of the tree-trunks, giant snails play with children, witches fly to the moon on a broomstick … Many surprises, revealed through exquisite opera, will transport us to a world where magic is hidden behind every tree.
SYNOPSIS: Lost in the forest, Hansel and Gretel will have to face the dangers that threaten, until they arrive at the wonderful Candy House, where a terrible witch will capture them.
The pages of the tale come to life in a very special way in Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera.
