5 days to the Hansel premiere!

John Macfarlane’s designs for the new production of Hansel and Gretel feature a lot of unconventional props and visually stunning costumes and make-up, including gingerbread children, tree people, a whole bunch of chefs, a giant cake, and a freshly baked gingerbread witch. Here are some shots from backstage and the Met workshops.
