About
Saint-Saëns wrote The Carnival of the Animals in 1886, a set of short pieces that each paint an animal in music. The Greek National Opera stages it on its Alternative Stage at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, with the Oros Ensemble playing live. It suits school-age kids who can sit through a concert, and makes an easy first taste of classical music.
