Carnival of the Animals
This season in Klaipėda, the enchanting Carnival of the Animals will come to life — one of the most famous works by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, captivating audiences of all ages around the world for more than a century.
Soon, the Klaipėda State Musical Theatre will invite viewers on an extraordinary musical journey, where classical music transforms into a colourful, playful, and imagination‑sparkling fairy tale for the whole family.
This musical suite is a true zoological garden of sounds, where each animal reveals its own character, mood, and voice. Audiences will hear the proud steps of lions, the quick leaps of kangaroos, the slow pace of tortoises, the cheerful braying of donkeys, the mysterious world of the aquarium, and of course, the exquisite Swan Melody — one of the most touching and recognizable in classical music.
Carnival of the Animals stands out with its vivid musical storytelling, subtle humour, unexpected instrumental combinations, and playful references. It is a work that nurtures imagination, encourages attentive listening, recognition, and emotional connection — a perfect introduction to classical music for young listeners and a delightful discovery for adults alike.
This performance is a celebration for the ears, the imagination, and the heart.
