Hansel and Gretel Play Tickets

Gather around and watch as a classic fairy tale unfolds when you purchase Hansel and Gretel tickets. The Brothers Grimm folk tale was first published in 1812 and is set in Germany. When brother and sister, Hansel and Gretel, are abandoned in a forest, they wander into a house made of sweets. Little to their knowledge, it is the property of a cannibalistic witch intending to cook the two of them for dinner. The children then must find a way to outsmart their tormenter before it’s too late.

The tale has become a part of classic literature throughout the world and countless adaptations have been made, including theatrical. Among many others, Matti Kolver’s retelling of the fairytale, titled Ami & Tami, has been a favorite among the theatre community. Theatrical productions of Kolver’s contemporary and musical take on Hansel & Gretel have been performed throughout the U.S. and in Israel. An opera depicting the tale was also composed, known as Hansel und Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck. 

Whether you enjoy witnessing professional theatre groups retell the tale or prefer the authenticity and uniqueness of school plays, you won’t want to miss out on getting Hansel and Gretel tickets. Not only has the beloved story been made into various play adaptations, but there have also been several film variations, such as Gretel & Hansel (2020) and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013). The classic fairy tale has also been the inspiration for video games, like Hansel & Gretel and the Enchanted Castle (1995), and books, like Emma Donoghue’s Kissing the Witch (1997).

What are the best seats to see Hansel and Gretel live?

Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
