General Manager is Ben Spierman; the full company of singers and musicians will be conducted by Michael Spierman. Composer Humperdinck described his opera as a Marchenoper (fairy-tale opera); the libretto is by his sister Adelheid Wette and is based on the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale of the same name. Hansel and Gretel premiered December 23, 1893 in Weimar, conducted by Richard Strauss. The Hamburg premiere took place the following year, conducted by Gustav Mahler.
