Carnival of the Animals

Richard Bonynge Ensemble

Dive into a magical experience of music, storytelling, and dance by Penrith Conservatorium’s Richard Bonynge Ensemble featuring dancers from Glenbrook Ballet Theatre.

A magical carnival where the animals are the stars and guests of all ages are warmly welcomed.

Marvel at majestic lions, listen to braying mules, be charmed by a dancing elephant, and enjoy the lively antics of bouncy kangaroos. Witness the grace of majestic birds and the playful dance of schools of fish. Even the fossils get into the spirit with a fast, rattling dance!

Everyone—kids, parents, and grandparents alike—will have the chance to explore the delightful world of music and animals.

Camille Saint-Saëns’ delightful 1886 work, was originally crafted as a playful treat for his friends and features fourteen distinct movements, each one depicting an animal, a group of animals, or a type of person.
