Hopkins Seattle: Hopkins at the Opera

Hopkins Seattle

Join the Hopkins Seattle chapter of JHU Alumni for an evening of culture! We'll begin with a hosted reception at 10 Mercer from 5:00pm – 7:00pm and then walk down the block to McCaw Hall, the home of Seattle's opera and ballet companies for a performance of Hansel and Gretel beginning at 7:30pm.

Not seen at Seattle Opera for 23 years, Humperdinck's impressive adaptation of the iconic Grimm story has been an international favorite since its premiere. With refreshing humor and Wagnerian orchestration, this atmospheric fable explores universal themes of poverty, peril, and bravery, culminating in happiness for all – save for one very bad witch! Laurent Pelly's "astonishing” production celebrates the richness of imagination and offers entertaining commentary on the pitfalls of consumerism in the modern world. Provocative, dreamy, and melodious, it’s unlike any fairytale you’ve ever seen.
