Mark Jaster in Carnival of the Animals

Master mime Mark Jaster returns to BlackRock in Carnival of the Animals, his lovingly refreshed interpretation of Camille Saint-Saëns’ mystical, musical classic. Saint-Saëns’ beloved score, charmingly accompanied by Ogden Nash’s playful verses, bring forth a magical menagerie delightfully brought to life by Jaster. Witness his remarkable transformation into a zoological coterie that includes a lion, an elephant, a kangaroo, a donkey, a cuckoo–you might even see a tortoise doing the can-can, or some fossils coming to life! Sabrina Mandell’s witty interpretations of the Nash verses and Dr. Daniel Lau’s brilliant musicianship make for a memorable concert for the ears as well as the eyes.
