Title	Hansel and Gretel
Abstract/Description	This work is a fairy opera in three acts. The story is an old one of the mother who, finding her children idle, sends them to the woods to gather strawberries for their frugal meal. Bemoaning their poverty, she falls asleep exhausted, only to be awakened by the riotous song of her homecoming drunk husband. Her reproaches are silenced at the sight of the sumptuous food he has brought home. When he asks for the children, he is horrified to hear of them being in the woods where lives the wicked fairy.
