Carnival of the Animals

Step Right Up!

Step right up and take a glimpse into the mesmerizing big top! Prepare to be entertained by tightrope walkers, marvelous clowns, majestic mermaids, and freakishly fantastic dancing Siamese twins—just a few of the incredible acts we have in store.

Allow yourself to be swept away by the magic of the circus and the enchanting characters our talented ballet dancers bring to life. This thrilling program features Debussy’s evocative piano compositions alongside Saint-Saëns’ fantastical Carnival of the Animals, making it a delightful experience for the entire family.
Inspired by turn-of-the-century sideshow performances, "Carnival of the Animals" brings to life a captivating array of performers, including a young girl on an adventure to find a kind but sorrowful clown of her dreams.

“Come one, come all to the Greatest Show on Earth!”
