A central motif in Engelbert Humperdinck's opera HÄNSEL UND GRETEL is the "evening blessing" (Abendsegen) at the end of the second act. The two title protagonists are forced to sleep in the forest and ask for protection. 

This lullaby is interpreted here by four cellists from the orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin – in an arrangement by Ulrike Seifert, played by Arthur Hornig, Johannes Petersen, Stephan Buchmiller and Ulrike Seifert.
