The Carnival of Animals is one of the most popular Camille Saint-Saëns works. “The big zoological fantasy”, which was written as a joke, a surprise for friends, has become a favorite music piece of many children and adults.

Each of the 14 fantasy parts represents a different animal, including lion, turtle, elephant, as well as fossils, aquarium and cuckoo.

Thanks to the participants of the CISC (Creative International School for Children) theater studio not only can we get acquainted with the animals through music, but we will also be able to see them on the Philharmonic stage.
