Carousel

12 Sept 2025 – 15 Feb 2026

One spin.. and the magic begins! The voice of the doll Olympia rises, mechanical and brilliant. Another turn, and here comes the dwarf Kleinzach, dreamy and lively. Then, the Barcarolle envelops the entire carousel in a veil of starlit night. Finally, the horses gallop off: the Can-Can erupts, dazzling and irresistible.

This operatic carousel thrills audiences and turns heads. Designed for children aged 4 to 10, it also transports adults into a world of opera in motion, performed by singers, musicians and acrobats. Here, there are no curtains or rows of seats: opera takes to the streets, transforming squares and schoolyards into living stages. 

More than just a carousel, it is a spiralling celebration, a musical fantasy, a firework display of emotions to be enjoyed with the whole family!
