Press Reviews
"Director Béatrice Lachaussée perceives the piece consequently as drama the innocent imagination. /.../It’s not a disenchantment but reveals how magic works."
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG- Patrick Bahners, 21.12.2021
"Firstly, she directs Hänsel and Gretel exactly on the music. This match convinces through the ligthness given to the opera here in the Staatenhaus hall 2, as the music supports the action every single moment. /.../
If only Humperdinck could have seen and hear that!"
