Experience a magical afternoon of music and storytelling at the Ygnacio Valley Library! The Fratello Marionettes bring the beloved classical masterpiece Carnival of the Animals to life through the art of puppetry. Set to Saint-Saëns’ whimsical score, this enchanting, dialogue-free performance weaves together three timeless fairy tales—The Three Little Pigs, The Tortoise and the Hare, and The Ugly Duckling. As the music shines, beautifully crafted marionettes dance, race, and transform on stage, creating a delightful visual adventure for the whole family.Generously sponsored by the Walnut Creek Library Foundation.
