State Opera South Australia is bringing one of the world’s most beloved fairy tales to life this August with the world premiere of Hansel & Gretel, a spectacular new production set to enchant audiences of all ages.

Presented exclusively in South Australia from 21–29 August 2026 at Her Majesty’s Theatre, this stunning reimagining of Humperdinck’s classic opera combines cinematic storytelling, striking visual design and lighting and a lush orchestral score. Inspired by the timeless Brothers Grimm tale, the production promises a fresh and contemporary take on the story many generations have grown up with.

Conducted by State Opera South Australia Artistic Director Dane Lam, the production brings together an exceptional creative team, including acclaimed Australian Director Constantine Costi and Designer Jonathon Oxlade. Audiences will also experience a world-class cast led by internationally acclaimed Korean American countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim in his Australian debut as Hansel, alongside American soprano Sofia Troncoso as Gretel. Australian mezzo-soprano Catherine Carby plays the dual roles of the Witch and Mother, Adelaide favourite baritone Morgan Pearse plays Peter, and emerging South Australian soprano Lucy Stoddart completes the stellar line-up in the dual roles of Dew Fairy and the Sandman.

Thanks to State Opera South Australia and Seniors Card, two (2) lucky Seniors Card members have the opportunity to win a double pass valued at $286 each to Hansel & Gretel at Her Majesty’s Theatre on Tuesday, 25 August at 7:30pm.
