Theatre Sans Fil (Theatre Without Strings) brings this children’s opera to life. Inspired by classical Japanese puppetry, it features dozens of larger-than-life puppets manipulated by 12 puppeteers; stunning visual effects; beautiful costumes and magical sets for an unforgettable theatrical experience. This enchanting opera, sung in English, is a delightful (and painless) introduction to opera.

Follow the classic story as two hungry children, lost in the forest, discover a delicious gingerbread house and begin to nibble. Alas, an evil witch named Rosina Dainty Mouth steps from her hiding place and puts a spell on them. But beware! Gretel and her brother are far wiser than the evil witch can imagine!
