WAAPA's second semester opera this year is Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" in the English translation by David Pountney. It's a colourful family show with plenty for young and old alike, directed by Thomas de Mallet Burgess (of Lost and Found Opera) and conducted by Alexander Ingram, whom I'll be assisting. The music is wonderful, full of folk tunes and Wagnerian influences - I'm looking forward to introducing it to the orchestra in a couple of weeks.
