About
Co-production with British Youth Opera
Opera Holland Park // August 2021
Choose your own adventure - either follow Hannah and Gemma on their exciting journey through the deserted theatre as they discover hidden games, treasures and doorways. Or, choose to watch the adults growing concern for their children as they confront their own fears of the world we find ourselves in.
Escape to the magical world of Hansel and Gretel where nothing is as it seems. Watch the backdrop of Holland Park transform into an abandoned theatre full of magic and intrigue for the children to explore, where all that glitters is might not be gold.
A brand-new interpretation of Humperdinck’s classic, combining live performance with pre-recorded orchestra, delivered to you on your own individual set of wireless headphones. Sit in a single location, choose which audio channel to tune in to, and watch as the action springs up around you.
