Due Donne Productions presents Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hansel and Gretel (sung in English) at the Arts at the Armory Cafe. This is the company’s first production, and is cast with students from the New England Conservatory. Performances in Somerville are Friday August 2nd and Saturday August 3rd at 8PM. Additional performances the following weekend are in Quincy, MA at Bethany Congregational Church at 7:30pm. All performances are free with suggested donation.


Hansel and Gretel is the age-old tale of two children getting lost in the woods, only to find a house of candy home to an evil witch. Humperdinck’s opera, written in 1893, features references to German folk music underscored by lush harmonies. One of the most notable moments of the opera is the “Evening Prayer,” sung Hansel and Gretel. The opera is in three acts with one intermission.


The company was created by Celeste Pellegrino and Larisa Bainton, two Masters students at the New England Conservatory. Their mission is to bring opera to the greater Boston community through traveling productions, while also providing performance opportunities for budding opera singers.
