Hansel and Gretel (performed by the Capitol City Opera)

Come stroll through the woods with Hansel and Gretel this Snow Day as they explore not only the woods, but the world of opera, in this timeless tale. Capitol city Opera, an Atlanta-based troupe, stages an exciting show for the audience as they outwit the witch. The troupe has performed shows specifically geared towards children for over twenty years.

“Opera is a great experience and one most children are unfamiliar with,” said Creative Discovery Museum’s Arts Manager, Liza Blair. “Opera is a great way to showcase two unique art forms: singing and stage performance, while celebrating the holiday season with the timeless classic, Hansel and Gretel.”

Children from the audience will have a chance to dress in costume and come onstage to perform (non-speaking) roles during the show. Come help Hansel and Gretel escape the witch and return home safely!
