Following his ingeniously recreated puppet operas "Master
Peter" and "La Bella", Twist makes his formal Opera house debut with this
commission from The Houston Grand Opera and The Atlanta Opera. Twist
directs and designs a new Hansel and Gretel, which premiered at the Houston
Grand Opera. This collaboration between singers and puppets tells one of the
most famous fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers. A completely original star
is born through an ambitious collaboration between Twist and The Jim Henson
Company.
