Whistle Stop Opera: Hansel And Gretel

In 2020 the Covid pandemic meant that theatres were closed. When restrictions were eased slightly, York Theatre Royal produced Pop-up on the Patio, a festival of live outdoor performances on the theatre’s patio stage over three weekends in August. Whistle Stop mini-opera comprises excerpts from Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hansel and Gretel performed by Opera North.
