Nevada Opera presents … Hansel & Gretel. By Englebert Humperdinck (the German Composer who lived from 1854 to 1921 — NOT the pop singer of the same stage name that local drummer Tony Savage has toured with — but possibly the inspiration for Prince Humperdinck of one of my favorite books of all time, The Princess Bride, by William Goldman.) But I digress.

The opera follows the fairytale bedtime story you remember (although it’s German and Grimm - a bit darker, sweeter and more romantic). A perfect opera for the whole family. Don’t miss it! Performances are Friday, February 8 at 7:30 pm or Sunday, February 10 at 2:00 pm at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. Buy your tickets now! Or call the opera directly: 775-786-4046.

And be sure to arrive early for the pre-show talk! Artistic Director Michael Borowitz is AMAZING!!!
