Everyone knows the fairytale of the brave, valiant little tailor. But why "little tailor"? Doesn’t this affectionate form reveal something about the true nature of the tailor? He is no hero; rather, he is a small trickster who stumbles from one adventure to the next due to his exaggerated self-assessment. Admittedly, he succeeds through wit and intelligence, but he is not truly courageous in the best sense. The fact remains that his successes are based on lies and misjudgments, and that’s the really interesting part of this fairytale. Flies are caught, giants are overcome, a unicorn is defeated, and a wild boar is captured—all of this earns him a princess and half a kingdom. Nice, but will he be happy? And what about the princess? Therefore, there is an alternative ending to the classic fairytale, but we won’t reveal that.

Ferdinand, the little bull, is so different from all his fight-loving friends. He loves the scent of flowers, and he enjoys it most while resting under the cork oak tree. One day, a few men are looking for a fiery, combative bull for the arena. And because Ferdinand just happens to sit on a bee at that moment and behaves wildly, the deal is made: Ferdinand is the wild bull! So, he must leave his home to fight in the bullfighting arena of the big city...

Welcome to the Carnival of the Animals, the celebration of life! When the world of musicians meets the world of animals, no stone is left unturned! Whether lions or chickens, donkeys or turtles, everyone is here—even fossils stand up again. Sing, dance, and guess along with us!
Composer Camille Saint-Saëns delights the whole family with this hit of classical music. And he didn’t even want the notes to be published during his lifetime! In 1886, he wrote the suite for fun, by the way, in a small village in Austria. Saint-Saëns was afraid for his reputation as a “serious” composer, which is why The Carnival of the Animals was not published until 1922. Little did he know that this piece would bring him more global fame than any of his other works.
Generations of children and adults have been delighted by Saint-Saëns’ original way of turning animal sounds into music. For classical music enthusiasts, he also hid some ironic Easter eggs: for example, in The Elephant, he quotes Berlioz, and in The Fossils, he references Rossini.
For the celebration, the piano duo of the Salzburg Philharmonic is joined by: dancer and acrobat Lisa Moon, who dances to the music of The Swan; actress and singer Katharina Gudmundsson, who narrates through the music; and pianists Emese Wilhelmy and Minka Popovič, who play the piano.
