The RNZB is unable to invite you to a live performance for the moment. However,  it’s delighted to broadcast some of its fantastic back catalogue, right into your living room! This is free and available to everyone.
The RNZB in collaboration with Audio Described Aotearoa is delighted to present three audio described live broadcasts of Hansel & Gretel. The performance lasts one hour and 45 minutes, plus a brief interval between the two acts to make a cup of coffee and grab a slice of gingerbread.

“Hansel and Gretel has everything a brilliant ballet needs – beautiful choreography and dancing, wonderful music, fantastic costumes and set design, and a great story. It is the perfect ballet for audience of all ages.”– theatreview.org.nz
