Between a miniature opera and a carousel, Carrousel invites children on a ride unlike any other. A festive experience based on the repertoire of Jacques Offenbach.

Children are invited to take their seats aboard the beautiful horses of a carousel, adorned with elegant strings of lights, for an unusually long ride: 20 minutes—a dream come true! There are no pom-poms to grab here, but a playful acrobat roams the stage, and a small central stage features two singers—a soprano and a mezzo-soprano—performing excerpts from Offenbach's *The Tales of Hoffmann* and * Orpheus in the Underworld* . Around the carousel, six members of a chamber orchestra (violin, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, and percussion) bring to life the memorable melodies of Jacques Offenbach. Parents and guardians are not left out of the show, but comfortably seated on either side of the carousel. With this format designed for children, fairground expertise and opera combine to create a moment of collective and heartfelt wonder.
