ABAO TXIKI
SOÑANDO EL CARNAVAL DE LOS ANIMALES
Playful music and large-scale puppets inviting us to dream.
07 to 09 november 2026
A staged concert, shaped by humour and visual beauty, that brings together Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Saint-Saëns’s celebrated Carnival of the Animals. From this playful music, Enrique Lanz and his company Etcétera have created large-scale puppets — a lion, a giant tortoise, a swan, a dinosaur, and even an elephant — inviting us to dream with our eyes open while a baby faun sleeps at the foot of the piano.
A production born of the collaboration between ABAO BILBAO OPERA and TEATRO ARRIAGA.
Ages 4 and up.
