Where your imagination roams!
Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet and Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra present world premiere! Set against the backdrop of Camille Saint-Saens’ most popular work, the CPYB and HSO’s whimsical co-production of Carnival of the Animals takes you on a playful romp through a child’s imagination.

It’s a very ordinary and rather boring day for young Noah—that is until buoyant melodies and vivid daydreams whisk him away to a make-believe world of zoological wonder. This riveting production combines the enchanting choreography of Laszlo Berdo, underscored by the magnificent Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra and narrated by the distinctive voice of witf’s Cary Burkett. Carnival of the Animals…a rollicking escapade for the adventurous of all ages!
