Opera Saratoga

The Troy Record / Saratogian share their review of HANSEL AND GRETEL. "The Opera Saratoga production of “Hansel and Gretel” is an innovative presentation that can be fully appreciated by every member of the family. In this co-production with Manual Cinema (who are puppeteers extraordinary), youngsters will be in awe of the story of two loving children outwitting a witch who cooks children and converts them to gingerbread cookies. Adults will appreciate the subtle metaphors about life and survival found in almost every fairy-tale.Everyone will be in awe of the uniqueness of the production..."

Operawire says our production of Hansel and Gretel is "remarkable...you have to see this." Don't miss the final performance of the season this Sunday, July 14th at 2pm!
