The magic of a live symphony orchestra in a one-hour concert for families.

Let your imagination run wild with Saint-Saëns' delightful classic that introduces the instruments of the orchestra.

Lions, elephants, tortoises, roosters, kangaroos and more come alive during this audience favourite as the West Australian Symphony Orchestra turns Perth Concert Hall into a sumptuous zoo for this detailed tour of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals.
