The Animal Carnival (by Camille Saint-Saëns)
A group of actors, musicians and dancers take us on a journey to the beautiful world of music through a fairy tale that is performed worldwide. It is a musical theatre approach to the musical work, with songs based on the composer's classic melodies, choreography and interactive play. It is a beautiful way to introduce children, with humour and suspense, to the music of Camille Saint-Saëns and to help them familiarise themselves with the musical instruments of the classical orchestra.
"The Animal Carnival" (Le Carnaval des animaux) is a humorous musical suite of fourteen movements by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The work is presented for wind ensemble, percussion, and narration. The "Animals Carnival" was greeted with enthusiasm, and this work became one of the composer's most popular.
