About
Although it was actually intended for an adult audience, Saint-Saëns’ “grand zoological fantasy” is just as appealing to young music lovers. Young and old will be charmed by the majestic swan and the magic of the aquarium, enjoy the leaping kangaroos and the tentative scales of novice pianists, and recognise several nursery rhymes. “What a beautiful beast is the Carnival of the Animals!”
Production Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
