About this concert
A grumpy grandfather clock, amorous cats and a singing squirrel come bursting to life in Ravel’s fanciful one-act opera L'enfant et les sortileges (The Child and the Magic Spells). With text by Colette (Nobel-nominated writer of Gigi), this semi-staged production from Pacific Symphony centers on a destructive young boy who finds the everyday objects around him coming to life to teach him a much-needed lesson. Carl St. Clair conducts this playful concert, which kicks off with Prokofiev’s beloved Peter and the Wolf, brought to life by Magic Circle Mime Company. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, any music lover will be filled with joy during this imaginative program.
