Hansel and Gretel – Opera

Opera in the Meantime is a dynamic young opera company praised for its “energy, commitment and attention to detail”, as well as “individuality, freshness and dynamism” (Jennifer Hamilton). Based in Greenwich, OITM was founded by Lucy Elston in 2017 on the premise that brilliant shows can be put together on a low budget and with a small team. We are passionate about what we do and committed to making opera accessible to everybody. Our goal is to make our performances feel intimate, and for our audiences to feel close to the action. We excel by making the most of our small team including visual artists who design our brightly coloured shadow puppets and bring to life our backdrop by operating them from behind the scenes.
