Original title
Concert famille Animalia : Le carnaval des animaux - l'Hôtel de la Marine
What you need to know
- Reservation only, with limited places, so book before the day
- Concert ticket only: it doesn't get you into the building's visitor routes or the Animalia exhibition
- Mostly short movements: the Carnival is 14 brief pieces, so a restless 6-year-old gets a new animal every minute or two
About
Pianist Daniel Strasberg and the Arco Iris string quartet play two pieces that tell stories. First comes Ravel's Mother Goose, fairy tales such as Tom Thumb and Beauty and the Beast on solo piano. Then Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals gives a lion, tortoises, kangaroos, an elephant and a swan each their own short movement. It's a seated concert, so it suits kids who can sit and listen.
Where it is
