Scottish Opera presents Opera On Your Doorstep: Hansel & Gretel

7.00pm – Pay What You Can £23.00 / £21.00 / £19.00

There is something truly special about the opera arriving in town. This season, Scottish Opera brings one of the most enchanting tales in the repertoire, and a family favourite, right here to the Byre Theatre.

Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel is a story that speaks to all of us: two children, lost and hungry in a darkening forest, summoning every scrap of courage and wit to outsmart a very wicked witch indeed. This beautifully crafted five-singer production, directed by Lucy Bradley, designed by Janis Hart, and accompanied by an intimate piano arrangement, strips the opera back to its storytelling heart. An exciting cast, including many current and previous Scottish Opera’s Emerging Artists, and a local children’s chorus, bring this fairy tale to life.

Whether you are a lifelong opera lover or coming along for the very first time, prepare to be enchanted.

A limited number of £6.00 tickets are available for people under the age of 26. Simply choose any PWYC price and ensure that you have added your date of birth to your booking account.
