Continuing with Artober coverage on Up+Adam, we’re diving into the whimsical and slightly wicked world of Hansel and Gretel, but not the bedtime story version. Opera San Luis Obispo is pulling out all the stops for their grand production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s beloved opera, featuring a full 60-piece orchestra, massive two-story woodland sets, vivid costumes, and a talented cast of international stars and local youth.


Adam sits down with mezzo-soprano Mandi Barrus (Hansel), soprano Amy Goymerac (Gretel), Children’s Chorus Manager Luana Gerardis, and County Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Brescia, who also serves on the OperaSLO board. Together, they talk about the magic of bringing opera to families, why it’s perfect for October and Artober in SLO, and the role of arts in education. Oh, and yes, Adam definitely tries his hand at opera himself in an improvised mini-opera you won’t want to miss.


This episode is full of laughs, love for the arts, and a whole lot of talent. Whether you’re an opera lover or totally new to it, Hansel and Gretel is your gateway into something unforgettable.

And remember - for the next 48 hours only, Up+Adam listeners can grab tickets for just $25 when you use the promo code HANSEL25 at checkout.
