Here is a sneak peak of Ravel's Opera “L'enfant et les sortilèges." In this scene we see "The Child" played by Tess Altiveros being told by a tea kettle and tea cup what pain they have gone through because of the child.

Celebrate your inner child with Ravel's masterpiece, the one-act opera  “L'enfant et les sortilèges” (“The Child and the Magic Spells”), in which a young boy encounters magical forces, including dancing chairs, a grumpy grandfather clock, two amorous cats and a singing squirrel. The program opens with music selections in remembrance of Principal Cellist Timothy Landauer.
