HALLOWEEN CONCERT

A concert that’s scary… but not too much!

Witches, ghosts, and fantastic creatures are invited to the Opéra Comédie for a grand family event filled with thrills and festivities. From the fiery exuberance of Khatchaturian's Sabre Dance to the mysteries of Revueltas' Sensemayá, from the spirits of earth and fire invoked by Holst to the breathless chase of Bartók's Miraculous Mandarin, each piece in this program opens a new door to the strange and the wonderful. Between wild dances, conquering marches, and ghostly waltzes, the Orchestra summons the dark forces of the great repertoire… Come in costume!

Duration: ±1h30 without intermission

Flat rate: 16€
