Concert information
Info
Two courageous children who free themselves from a witch’s clutches through their own ingenuity: Engelbert Humperdinck turned the popular fairy tale into an opera that continues to enchant audiences across generations. Its combination of folk-like melodies with a Wagnerian orchestral sound is unique. The colourful staged production is conducted by Kirill Petrenko. Also taking part is the Vokalhelden choir, drawn from the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Education programme, whose 25th anniversary we celebrate this season.
