RAVEL: The Child and the Magical Spells: a lyric fantasy in two scenes (L'enfant et les sortilèges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties)
A glorious and theatrical celebration of the light and enchantment of France and French music, beginning with Debussy’s evocation of a journey to a mysterious island of love, and his witty and charming ballet score for children about the adventures of a box of toys. The program ends with a brilliantly colorful and delightful semi-staging of Ravel’s immortal and much-loved comic fantasy about a naughty child whose toys come to life to punish him.

The Sunday performance is part of Sunday A & B packages.
