Hansel and Gretel

Book
Illustrated scene featuring two children standing on a grassy hill under a rainbow. A girl in a green dress with floral patterns and a young boy wearing an Earth-themed T-shirt and orange shorts are smiling, holding small bags from which flowers and leaves appear to be spilling. The background shows a soft, colourful sky with faint clouds and a cityscape in the distance, creating a cheerful, whimsical atmosphere.
Two ballet dancers are engaged in a playful standoff on a black-and-white patterned sofa. They wear matching white t-shirts and mustard-yellow trousers. They hold oversized gaming controllers, pointing them at each other with expressions of amusement and determination. Their legs are stretched wide, balancing on pointe shoes, showcasing their ballet skills.
Two performers sit on the floor, looking up in awe at a towering creature made entirely of plastic bottles and recyclables. The creature has glowing eyes and an imposing, jagged form.
Two ballet dancers interact energetically in front of a cityscape backdrop. One dancer, wearing a white t-shirt with an "H" and mustard-yellow trousers, kneels on one knee, excitedly holding a green book. The other dancer balances on one foot behind him, her other leg extended high in the air.
Two ballet dancers perform a duet on stage. A dancer, wearing a medieval-style costume with green and gold accents, elegantly holds the other dancer's hand as she balances en pointe, her leg extended behind her in an arabesque. The lighting casts a deep blue glow, creating a magical atmosphere.
A performer dressed in an earth-toned costume dances joyfully on pointe, arms outstretched and face lifted towards the sky. The background features a cityscape with glowing green buildings and washing line with colourful clothes hanging behind them.
A male performer in a black-and-white patterned outfit is mid-motion on stage, striking a dramatic dance pose with one leg raised and arms outstretched.
A group of performers stand in a dynamic pose, each holding a large green plant in a bright orange pot. The stage is bathed in green light, with a cityscape in the background.

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

In this reimagined classic, Hansel and Gretel take a walk through the woods, unaware of the damage they leave behind. But when they get lost, they 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 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.

In the foreground, a toddler is wearing oversized headphones, standing at a professional DJ deck, as if they are mixing music. The child, dressed in a striped sweater, looks focused and serious while interacting with the equipment. In the background, another child is joyfully dancing, wearing a patterned dress, with arms raised and a hula hoop around their waist.
