The Royal Opera House in London has come under scrutiny for it’s new telling of the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. They had been advertising it as family friendly, but word has leaked that the production features dead children, a knife wielding witch, and a finale where the twins dine on the old lady’s flesh. Sounds awesome right? It didn’t help matters when the BBC decided to premiere the opera on TV… at 3pm… on Christmas day. Check out the photo below showing the witch’s pantry filled with hanging dead children, and tell me this show wouldn’t be very cool to see on Christmas day.
