Engelbert Humperdinck's opera Hänsel and Gretel is a favourite with young and old alike, especially at Advent and Christmas time. This year, a special version for families will be performed by Lindenbrass, the brass ensemble of the Staatskapelle Berlin. Ten musicians accompany and enrich the fairy tale story with the sounds of Humperdinck's work, with all the well-known melodies and their inherent poetic magic.
