About

Perníková chalúpka is Engelbert Humperdinck's children's opera Hansel and Gretel, staged by the Slovak National Theater (SND) Opera at the new SND building. Janko and Marienka are sent into the woods, find the witch's gingerbread house and outwit her. A full orchestra plays catchy, folk-song melodies, and the Bratislava Boys' Choir sings too. It is sung in Slovak with Slovak surtitles, so it suits kids who know the fairy tale and can sit through three acts with one intermission.
