1 San Diego Opera Opera for Kids...By Kids Hansel and Gretel Supplementary Materials for Classroom Teachers
2 What is this OPERA stuff anyway?? Most people think opera is some big lady, wearing horns, singing in a really loud voice. While sometimes that is the case, like in Wagner s Die Walküre, opera is SO much more than just the fat lady in horns! Opera is a story told through music. The music is accompanied by an orchestra. Opera singers have a special timbre (color or quality) to their voices that makes them able to project their voices over an orchestra. They do not use microphones! Opera singers train for many years in order to be able to sing like this. And, most opera singers are in excellent physical shape. Opera began in Italy when a group of artists formed a group called the Florentine Camerata. Over the last few centuries, opera has evolved throughout the world. It is probably so popular and exciting because it is an art form that combines visual art (sets, costumes), drama (the story, acting), dance (sometimes even a full ballet) and music (the orchestra, the singing). Opera stories are based on myths, folk tales, great works of literature, Biblical stories, fantasy, and real-life stories. Operas are written in many languages; the most popular are Italian, German and French. Operas are also written in English, Czech, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese. Most opera houses use supertitles, which are like captions for opera. Even if you don t speak the language of the opera, you will know what is going on by watching the supertitles above the stage. Singers who perform in operas have different voice types. For women, these types are Soprano (high), Mezzo-soprano (medium), and Contralto (low). For men, Tenor (high), Baritone (medium), and Bass (low) are the names of voice types. Principals are the singers who have named roles such as Pamina in The Magic Flute or Mimì in La Bohème. The group of singers who assist the action are called the Chorus. Sometimes, a children s chorus helps to tell the story (Carmen, Turandot). Most operas also use Supernumeraries or supers. These actors do not sing but serve an important purpose on stage. Singers and Supers aren t the only important participants in an opera. The stage director and the music director or conductor are needed to help the singers with the music and tell them how to move on stage. A costume designer creates and builds the costumes that the singers, dancers and supernumeraries will wear. The set designer creates what the set will look like and the lighting designer helps create the desired mood or effect using special lights. All of the designers work as a team to help to create an opera. Opera is special because it takes so many people to make it work. All of these elements put together make opera a spectacle for your eyes AND ears. 2

5 Hansel and Gretel Synopsis of the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck ACT I: In the house of a poor broom-maker deep in a German forest, Hansel and Gretel have been left by their parents, who are off in town trying to sell their wares. Gretel sings a folk song while she mends her stockings but Hansel interrupts with cries of hunger. She shows him a pitcher of milk hidden in the cupboard, but will not let him drink it. To distract him, she teaches him a little dance and they dance wildly about the house. Suddenly the door to the hut springs open and Gertrude, their mother, comes in and angrily scolds them for their horseplay. When Hansel laughs at Gretel's punishment, his mother chases him around the hut; in a flash the milk pitcher falls to the floor and smashes to pieces. Furious, Gertrude chases both children out of the house, sending them into the wood to find wild strawberries. Exhausted and upset, she puts her head down on the table just as the voice of her husband Peter is heard in the distance. He shows Gertrude all the food he has bought and joyfully tells her that he sold his brooms to a wedding party for the best price he has ever received. Ready to celebrate their good fortune he asks where the children are. When Gertrude tells him that they have gone to the woods, he is horrified. He tells her about an evil Witch who lives there and who bakes children into gingerbread, gobbling them up for dinner. Terrified, the parents rush off in search of their children. ACT II: In a forest glade, Gretel is making a wreath of wild flowers as Hansel picks the last of the wild strawberries. He offers his basket to Gretel, who eats one; as they start to leave, a cuckoo calls, and the children echo the bird's call, eating strawberries all the while. As darkness falls, they realize they cannot refill the basket, and worse, that they are lost. Their fears multiply as they think they see wild animals behind every tree, just as a mysterious old man carrying a large sack and lantern appears. He quiets them by scattering golden sand and promises them restful sleep. When the Sandman leaves, the two children kneel to say their prayers and quickly fall asleep. The glade is filled with golden light as Fourteen angels surround the sleeping children, standing guard through the night. ACT III: As dawn breaks, a Dew fairy, sprinkling dewdrops around her, awakens Gretel, who then tries to drag the sleepy Hansel to his feet. As it becomes lighter and lighter there appears a candy house, with rows of gingerbread children forming a fence on either side. When Hansel breaks a piece of cake from one of the windows, he hears a voice from inside the house. An ancient witch comes out and grabs the children by their arms. She tells both of them that she is Rosina Dainty-mouth; when they refuse her treats, she puts a spell on them and claps Hansel in a large cage. Gretel is released to go into the house to set the Witch's table, and a huge oven comes into view. To show her joy about the prospective banquet, the Witch jumps on her broomstick and rides all around, laughing as she flies. Gretel has overheard the Witch's plan to bake her, and while the Witch feeds Hansel raisins to fatten him up, Gretel whispers the Witch's magic words, which break the spell on Hansel. Hungry for Gretel, the Witch calls her to the oven. Gretel cleverly asks the Witch to show her how to make the oven work. As the Witch leans in, Gretel frees Hansel and they push the Witch in the oven and slam the door. Suddenly, they hear the gingerbread fence calling to them. Hansel and Gretel see that they have become real children again, but are still under a spell. Hansel recites the Witch's spell and the children spring to life. As Peter and Gertrude rush in and embrace their children, a huge gingerbread of the Witch is found in the oven. Before eating, all join in giving thanks for their deliverance. 5
6 Engelbert Humperdinck Composer of Hansel and Gretel Engelbert Humperdinck was born on September 1, 1854 in Sieburg, Germany. He studied piano from a very early age and composed his first work, a piano duet at age seven. He continued to compose works throughout his life including the singspiel Perla and Claudine von Villa Bella at age 13. He completed his schooling at Theodorianum Gymnasium in Paderborn where he was a chorister. He showed great musical talent in his youth, but his parents did not approve of his studying music. In 1871, he was made to study architecture by his parents, but after a year he was allowed to change to music at Cologne Conservatory under the guidance of Ferdinand Hiller. He studied piano, organ, and music theory (counterpoint and harmony). It was also during his conservatory days that he first heard the operas of Richard Wagner. He was awarded the Frankfurt Mozart Prize in 1876 which allowed him to study in Munich and the Berlin Mendelssohn Prize in 1879 which gave him the opportunity to study in Italy for a year. It was at this time that he met Richard Wagner and became his assistant for the original production of Parsifal. It was Humperdinck s work with Wagner that influenced the rest of his composing career. In 1883, he traveled to Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco and Tangiers and developed an interest in Arabian and Moorish culture. He continued to compose and meet many famous composers including Richard Strauss. In 1890, he began work on a piece that would become his most famous work, Hänsel und Gretel. His sister, Adelheid Wette, served as the librettist for the opera. He presented the first version of the work to his fiancée, Hedwig Taxer, as a Christmas and engagement gift. The final version of the opera was produced in December 1893 at Weimar with Richard Strauss serving as conductor. He continued to compose throughout his life, being influenced by Wagner, Strauss, Hugo Wolf, and Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, all good friends. He had great success both in Europe and the United States, where he traveled in the early 1900s with his daughter, Edith. He took ill from a stroke in 1912, but continued to compose. When he suffered a second stroke in 1921, he remained semi-active until he was taken ill with a heart attack, suffered from pneumonia and died in September. He was buried on October 1, 1921 in Berlin and a memorial production of Hänsel und Gretel was performed at the Berlin State Opera. 6

8 Questions for Discussion and Writing Prompts Hansel and Gretel When Hansel and Gretel went into the forest to pick strawberries with only baskets, it became night and they were lost. What could they have done to keep them out of this situation? What would you take into the forest if you were going out? Father sells brooms at the marketplace, similar to a farmer s market or flea market. Have you been to a farmer s or flea market? What did you see there? Draw a picture of what you saw there. If you haven t been there, ask a friend or your teacher to describe it to you and draw a picture of it. Why do you think Rosina Dainty-mouth (the witch) has become such an evil person? What made her decide to turn little children into gingerbread? Hansel and Gretel are helped along the way by a series of people and things, the animals, the sandmen, and the dew fairies. Have you ever had people help you out of tough situations? How did they help? Could you have made it out without their help? The Opera for Kids...by Kids version of Hansel and Gretel is slightly different than the original opera. Read the synopsis of the Engelbert Humperdinck and compare the two. You can also compare the opera version to the original fairy tale. What have you learned from your opera experience? How did your job fit your personality? Did you learn something new? What did you learn about the production process from your participation? Would you be part of another production? In the same job or a new job? What did you like best about the opera? What would you have changed? 8
