The Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra presents its annual family concert, this year featuring a special performance of ‘Babar the Elephant’!
Babar is a baby elephant whose mother is killed by a huntsman. Fortunately Babar meets a kind elderly lady who dresses him in a fine suit and gives him an impressive motor-car. However, Babar feels homesick for his forests, and is pleased when his cousins, Arthur and Celeste, find him and needs no persuasion to go home with them.
Back in the forest, where the King of the Elephants has eaten a poisonous mushroom, Babar is elected to succeed as King. He marries Celeste, and the last we hear of him is thinking of a rosy future as he dreamily looks up at a marvellously star-filled sky.
This special performance will also feature a visit from Dr Nick the Magician and other special guests!
Don’t miss this annual pre-Christmas treat from your local orchestra and conductor Stefan Cassomenos.
