"Nibble,
nibble, mousie, who's nibbling at my housie?" Does this familiar question
conjure up images of a delicious, candy-covered house...and the evil witch who
lurks inside? Revisit this classic story in a lively new one-hour production of
Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" at the CRS Barn Studio,
2622 North Triphammer Road, Ithaca. Performance dates are Friday and Saturday,
August 10 and 11 at 7:00pm and Sunday, August 12 at 4:00pm. Ticket prices are
$5.00 for children and $10.00 for adults.
This beloved
opera recounts the tale of two small children who get lost in the woods, find a
magical gingerbread house, and conquer an evil witch to set their friends free
and reunite with their parents. The CRS Barn Studio's updated and compact adaptation is beautifully
sung, in a new translation by Gary Race, and action packed, with colorful sets and beautiful
dancing. This professional production, perfect for families and children, is
directed by Steve Stull and choreographed by Jeanne Goddard, and features favorite
Ithaca singers Ivy Walz as Hansel, Rebecca Leistikow as Gretel, Erica
Steinhagen as the witch, and Steven Stull as the father. Carli Mazich-Addice is the Sand Man and Lynn Craver is the Dew Fairy. Performances take
place outdoors in fine weather, indoors in case of rain.
