Welcome to our Carnival: an Orchestral Theatre staging of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals.
Our new production transforms the concert into a museum visit in Paris around 1900, in which the musicians and the instruments are sounding exhibits. Carnival is performed alongside a new work by Richard Ayres, which explores what happens when the carnival is over and just the performers are left. Do you dare enter?
An Aurora Orchestra/Southbank Centre co-production developed in collaboration with Frantic Assembly
