Not just another Hänsel und Gretel! The story of the prince, the goose girl and the witch only seems to be taken from a fairy tale - but it is actually based wholly on our own world: being royal means being sensitive, noble and upright. Character traits like these shape outsiders - and those individuals are destroyed. Bottom line: royal children can't come together because no society wants them. Königskinder: a musical flush of great melodious beauty! For opera fans "a temptation" between Richard Wagner and Alban Berg - for people curious about opera much more: "an enchantment". The come-back of an opera.
