The Palm Beach Opera has revealed its 2019-2020 season featuring three mainstage operas and an added production starring the company’s artists in residence.

In a press statement, general director Daniel Biaggi said, “We are thrilled to bring ‘Hansel and Gretel’ to Delray Beach’s intimate Crest Theatre, and present our rising artists in residence, who often go on to sing at opera houses around the world, to another lively and arts-thriving community in South Florida. This opportunity also provides our artists in training with an additional on-stage experience, further preparing them for successful careers and fulfilling our mission to support new voices in opera.”

The season opens with Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel” featuring the company’s Benenson Young Artists and Apprentice Artists, a full orchestra, and an imaginative set made entirely out of paper.
