Hohenlinden / Forstinning - After a long Corona break, culture can also take place live again in the Hohenlinden community.
The spectacle with the witch's ride from the opera “Hansel and Gretel” by Engelbert Humperdinck will be performed on Sunday, October 24th, from 3pm.
For the first time there will be a large cross-section of this opera with the Forstinninger soloist ensemble in the Wendlandhalle. It was rehearsed and staged by Karin Wick (mezzo-soprano and singing teacher), who also takes on the role of mother. With the technical direction of the entire fairy tale play, Christian Krause also introduces himself to this piece as a baritone in the lead role of the rough-and-tumble father of Hansel and Gretel.
The roles of Hansel and Gretel are sung by the mezzo-soprano Sophia Hees and Gretel by the soprano Theresa Gantner.
Both have been awarded multiple prizes at “Jugend musiziert” and have been awarded for the state competition.
The youngest member and also the winner of “Jugend musiziert” takes on the enchanting two roles of sandman and dewy man.
Visitors can expect a magical set with many impressions, especially with a smart witch, played by the soprano Petra Frantz, who is sure to make a big impression on the children.
First in Forstinning, then in Hohenlinden
But nothing works without appropriate costumes.
All soloists were provided by the costume rental company Katharina and Helene Hörndl from Forst-inning.
