ACT III
Dawn. The Dewman (Soprano) comes, singing "I'm up with early dawning."
The children wake.
As the mist finally clears, they find themselves in the haunts of the Witch (Mezzo-
Soprano), who in these Scenes shuts Hansel in her cage (to fatten him for eating) and transfixes Gretel, but is eventually pushed into her own oven by the children. The oven flares up, then crashes to the ground. Spells are broken, and a lot of children whom the witch has entranced come to life again. There is a general dance and song of all the children.
