“It’s an artful night out of music and mystery as the Ringmaster introduces you to the menagerie of Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Le Carnaval des Animaux.” It’s a journey into self-discovery and the complexity of what it means to be alive,” Creative City Project, event organizers, said in a release.

The show is a collaboration with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra that will feature music from French composer Camille Saint-Saëns’ “The Carnival of the Animals.”

“With the original piece as the backbone, talented composer Julian Bond has expanded the original 23-minute score. A cast of professional dancers reveals what’s hidden beneath our own animalistic instincts, and circus performers awaken our sense of vitality and wonder through jaw-dropping acts,” event organizers described.

This event is one of four immersive experiences the Creative City Project is putting on. Click here to check out the other events.
