Scottish Opera: Opera On Your Doorstep - Hansel & Gretel

Hansel & Gretel is part of the programme at the Ryan Centre in Stranraer.

There is something truly special about the opera arriving in town. This season Scottish Opera brings one of the most enchanting tales in the repertoire, and a family favourite, right here to the Ryan Centre. Humperdinck's Hansel & Gretel is a story that speaks to all of us: two children, lost and hungry in a darkening forest, summoning every scrap of courage and wit to outsmart a very wicked witch indeed.
