Miller Theatre at Columbia University to Present CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS, 12/19

Miller Theatre inaugurates a new holiday tradition, a playful production that brings to life Saint-Saëns' musical "salute to feathers, fur, and fins"-Carnival of the Animals. A modern twist on Victorian toy theater, this imaginative staging combines music, scenic elements, puppetry, and movement, plus the clever verses of Ogden Nash. Curtain-raisers from the 16th Century to present-day set the stage and kindle the spirit of the holidays. Just about an hour in length, this family-friendly presentation is the perfect December treat to delight imaginative audiences of all ages.
