Haensel and Gretel
and the light of hope (with Sing-Akademie zu Berlin)
“Hansel and Gretel” was the title of an Advent concert performed by the junior groups of the Singakademie zu Berlin girls' choir in collaboration with the musical comedy duo Carrington-Brown in 2025. A series of mainly Christmas songs loosely based on the story by the Brothers Grimm and the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck – humorous and heartwarming at the same time.
Performance Saturday, December 6, 2025, St. Johanneskirche Alt-Moabit Berlin
