Piccolino is a small, light and modular show for young children, giving them a happy, fun and lively introduction to the contrabassoon, bassoon, violin and opera singing.
Through different musical excerpts and playful staging (from small to medium, large, and even very large), Piccolino opens their ears to variations in pitch and intensity, and highlights the different styles and characters of the instruments … and their performers! It offers a fun-filled approach to the orchestra and opera, through mini-theatre sprinkled with references the young audience (ages 3 and up) can understand, including the alphabet, numbers, big versus small, loud versus quiet, the fun principle of appearance-disappearance, learning and more, all to help them discover a new world.
