Contes de fées avec orchestre au New Covent Garden

Step into a world of magic, adventure and imagination with the UAE Philharmonic Orchestra.

Fairytales with Orchestra is an enchanting family concert combining the power of a live symphony orchestra with live storytelling, bringing some of the world’s most beloved tales to life on stage.

Guided by a live narrator, young audiences will journey through enchanted lands, bustling Eastern markets and extraordinary adventures - meeting familiar characters from Aladdin and Sinbad the Sailor to Peter and the Wolf and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

As each story unfolds, the orchestra becomes part of the adventure. Different instruments introduce characters, create magical worlds and bring every scene to life through music.

Featuring colourful orchestral masterpieces by Prokofiev, Dukas, Rimsky-Korsakov, Nielsen and more, the programme is designed to introduce children to classical music in an engaging and imaginative way.

Created especially for children and families, this one-hour experience combines live narration, storytelling and a full symphony orchestra - a wonderful first encounter with the magic of orchestral music, and an experience for the whole family to enjoy.

Where stories are told not only with words, but with music.

Make this October weekend one to remember. Bring the whole family, choose your favourite seats and experience the magic of fairytales brought to life by a live symphony orchestra.
