This production has lost little of its original shine seventeen years after it was first seen

Welsh National Opera have served up a tasty treat
19 Mar 15 / Welsh Daily Post
An enduringly successful subversion of Hansel and Gretel
16 Mar 15 / Seen and Heard
Disappointing and irritating
10 Mar 15 / The Birmingham Post
There is plenty of enchantment and surrealism to both captivate and unsettle
10 Mar 15 / Opera Today
The singing is wholly delightful, and the voices are better matched than any to date
24 Feb 15 / The Guardian
An evening of starvation and gluttony with Welsh National Opera's Hansel and Gretel
24 Feb 15 / Bachtrack
Spellbinding fairytale makes for unconventional and sumptuous operatic production

Benjamin Davis has done a brilliant job pumping the life back into Richard Jones’s memorable but intricate 1998 staging
