Scottish Ballet

Unwrap a tasty Christmas treat with Christopher Hampson’s magical Hansel & Gretel.

In a small, 1950s town, all the children have disappeared. Plucky Hansel and Gretel embark on an exciting adventure, traveling deep into the enchanted forest to find their friends.

Hansel & Gretel takes creative twists and turns inspired by the Grimm Brother’s famous fairy tale. A carousel of delicious treats from start to finish, this is a ballet full to the brim with magic; from toys that come to life to a beautiful ballerina who is not at all what she seems. Co-starring talented young dancers from across Scotland, Hansel & Gretel is full of youthful glee and mischief.

Scrumptiously surreal and with more than a sprinkle of festive charm - take an enchanting journey with Scotland’s national dance company this winter.

Humperdinck's bewitching score is performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra.
