Carnival of the Animals

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra presents Carnival of the Animals, a work to delight and capture the imaginations of both young and old. The humorous depiction of animals in Saint-Saëns’ zoological fantasy are brought to life through music and puppetry live on the Hamer Hall stage in quite the menagerie.

This performance includes some unexpected visitors – the addition of extra wildlife, commissioned especially for the event.

Note, a relaxed performance is also available; see MSO website for details.
