Hansel and Gretel - Northern Ballet

Come on an enchanting adventure in Northern Ballet’s brand-new children’s ballet Hansel and Gretel.

In this environment-themedreimagining of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel take a trip into the forest, unaware of the damage they leave behind. When they get lost, the siblings meet a host of spirited friends who teach them how we can all better look after the planet - and have some fun along the way!

Northern Ballet’s award winning, magical ballets for children bring much-loved fairy tales to life with bold sets, bright costumes and brilliant live music and dance - the perfect way for you and your child to experience the wonder of ballet together.

To honour the environmental message, Northern Ballet’s technical and wardrobe teams have been challenged with using only recycled, repurposed or sustainable resources. The ‘Rubbish Monster’ costume has repurposed around 400 used bottles and 250 used cans,and fabric has been sourced from charity shops with curtains and duvet covers receiving a whole new lease of life in this production.
