The first publication of a volume of Engelbert Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera 'Hansel and Gretel' is a valuable addition to the successful series 'Operas of the World' for this work is the second most frequently played opera in the German-speaking area after Mozart's 'Magic Flute'.As, for many children, 'Hansel and Gretel' is their first contact with the world of the opera, it seems natural to offer a complete libretto to the wide circle of interested persons. The book is based on the critical new edition by Hans-Josef Irmen which covers the latest research.

The world famous tale Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm was set to music in the 1890s by German composer Engelbert Humperdinck. The children's opera is performed regularly at many opera houses.
The Evening Prayer 'When at night I go to sleep', with which the two kids sing themselves to sleep, is one of the most famous songs of this opera, and is also used as the beginning of the overture.
This arrangement is scored for wind quintet with an english horn. In case no english horn should be available, we present an alternative version that features an oboe instead. The flute nd bassoon players will then use the same parts as in the version with english horn.
