1Hänsel and Gretel: A Fairy Opera in Three Acts

By Engelbert Humperdinck and Adelheid Wette

Adelheid Wette asked that her older brother, Engelbert Humperdinck, compose music for some children's song lyrics she had written. That simple request led to a sibling collaboration for a much loved Grand Opera enjoyed by audiences the world over. This audio book is a recitation of the libretto written by Adelheid Wette for HÄNSEL AND GRETEL, A FAIRY OPERA IN THREE ACTS.
