Since its first performance in 1893, Humperdinck's most famous opera Hansel and Gretel has remained constantly popular, becoming over the generations almost synonymous with the first family visit to the opera. "Brother come and dance with me!“ – "Susie, dear Susie" – a dancing brother and sister, the Dew Fairy and the Sandman, the Witch and the parents: a collection of all the fairy tale elements of the 19th century. And yet this is also a tale of hardship, hunger and the desire for abundance with a clear moral: "When the need is greatest, God the Lord puts out His hand!“

Hänsel Und Gretel

Max-Joseph-Platz

Falstaff bites off more than he can chew when he messes with the merry wives of Windsor. Set in 1940s post-war England, this Shakespeare-meets-Ealing-comedy production combines humour with music that bursts with energy.

Falstaff

Glyndebourne

Return for a Christmas treat or experience your first opera with Puccini’s famous love story.

La Boheme

Royal Opera House

UK-based guitarist Nicolas Meier has carved out a reputation as one of the world’s most original and uniquely talented guitarists. Drawing from a love of Turkish, Eastern & Middle Eastern music, Flamenco, Tango and more – all mixed with jazz – Meier’s versatility and musical fluency extends well beyond even that (so much so that his considerable talents drew the attention of rock guitar legend Jeff Beck who made Nicolas a mainstay in The Jeff Beck Group — carrying him on two world tours over the course of the last several years).
