Join Eugene Opera in the woods for this cherished tale from the Brothers Grimm. Will the magic of the woods protect Hansel and Gretel after they are cast out of their home? Will they survive their encounter with the Witch, or succumb to her tempting treats?

Humperdinck's evocative score, adapted for chamber orchestra, features operatic favorites including the "Evening Prayer" and the "Witch's Ride" and tells this beloved story with compassion and charm. A perfect introduction to opera for all ages.

Hansel and Gretel - Eugene Opera

Wildish Theater

Join Eugene Opera in southern Europe for a romantic romp that transcends the ages. Fairies, nymphs and shepherds accompany you on a picture-perfect journey set in Roman Holiday-era Italy. But will romantic destiny be thwarted by a jealous giant or will love prevail? Handel's sparkling pastoral opera Acis and Galatea will charm you with tuneful melodies, delightful twists and turns of the plot, and Baroque music you know and love by this renowned composer.

With an English libretto by John Gay.

Acis & Galatea

Richard E. Wildish Community Theater

Meet Rigoletto, a jester with a mean streak. His boss? A womanizing Duke who collects hearts like baseball cards. But when Rigoletto’s own daughter gets caught in the Duke’s web, it’s game on. Cue the curses, deceit, a sprinkle of murder, and of course some of the most famous music ever written.
