About

Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera, staged by Keith Warner. Two siblings get lost in the woods and meet a gingerbread-house witch, and the Frankfurt Opera Children's Choir joins in. It is sung in German with German and English surtitles, so kids who know the Grimm story can follow along. Best for kids who can sit through a full opera.
