The Blue Ridge Orchestra, a nonprofit, volunteer ensemble in Western North Carolina, continues its 2022-2023 season with its annual highlight of “BRO Revels!” This year, the program celebrates Engelbert Humperdinck’s fairy tale opera “Hansel & Gretel,” with performances December 3 and 4 in UNC Asheville’s Lipinsky Auditorium. Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty is honored to be a sponsor of this beloved event.
The adaptation of this famed opera, which first premiered in 1893, will feature a unique, lively production complete with angels, gingerbread children, seven vocalists, and a full orchestra. For this concert presentation, BRO will share the stage with UNC Greensboro’s Opera Theatre under the direction of David Holley.

Bringing world-class performances to Western N.C.
The Blue Ridge Orchestra is dedicated to engaging Western North Carolina’s extraordinary music community with occasions to perform, listen to and learn about great symphonic music. The opportunities for musicians to play and perform challenging repertoire is unparalleled, and the orchestra keeps the arts accessible to the community by presenting multiple performances (including afternoon shows), low ticket prices, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Since September 2017, BRO has been in residence at UNC Asheville’s Lipinsky Auditorium, and has enrolled students in the orchestra through a UNC Asheville music course. After taking the course for credit, many have gone on to play as community members.
“Hansel & Gretel” will take the stage at 3 p.m. both December 3 and 4. Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 members, and $5 students. For more information, visit https://www.blueridgeorchestra.org/bro-revels-2022-hansel-gretel, or call (828) 782-3354.
