This retelling of the wonderful children’s tale is a wonderful time out for the entire family! Come and enjoy the story of Hansel and Gretel, lost in the woods, coming upon a house made of their favourite candies. That is just the tip of an exciting “iceberg” of fun and bravery experienced by our two heroes. Sung in English.

Shakespeare’s timeless classic The Merry Wives of Windsor brilliantly set to music by the great Giuseppe Verdi sees Sir John Falstaff finally get his due. This promises to be a performance of hijinks and fun with the titular role performed by our very own professor and opera program director Theodore Baerg. This is an opera not to be missed for its wonderful music and hilarious comedy. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
