Boheme Opera NJ, one of the oldest opera companies in New Jersey, sweetens the holiday season with family favorite “Hansel and Gretel” at 3 p.m. Dec. 4, at Kendall Main Stage Theater on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing.
The premier show of Boheme’s 34th season, “Hansel and Gretel” will transport children young and old to an operatic forest of fantasy through musical treats for the ears and visual sweets for the eyes.
The stunning, virtual sets by acclaimed designer J. Matthew Root will be brought to life by a vibrant cast of established and rising stars, supported by the Boheme Opera NJ Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Boheme Opera Artistic Director Joseph Pucciatti, and members of The Princeton Boychoir, under the direction of Fred Meads.
Contralto Alison Bolshoi sings the role of the Witch who captures Hansel and Gretel.
Performed in English, the opera will be preceded by a pre-curtain talk, presented by Boheme Board President Jerrold Kalstein, in the theater one hour before the start of the performance.
