Description
A concert that's a little scary? But not too scary?!
Witches, ghosts, and fantastical creatures are coming to the Opéra Comédie for a big family event filled with thrills and celebration. From the fiery passion of Khachaturian’s “Sabre Dance” to the mysteries of Revueltas’s “Sensemayé,” and from the spirits of earth and fire summonedby Holst to the breathless chase in Bartók’s *The Miraculous Mandarin*, each piece in this program opens a new door to the strange and the wondrous. Through frenzied dances, triumphant marches, and ghostly waltzes, the Orchestra summons the dark forces of the great repertoire… Come in costume!
