Luz et les Sonidos:
The fabulous adventure of a little girl, Luz, plunged deep into the world of instruments and their mysteries. Families follow along on this journey, discovering Luz’s other companions-the ‘Sonidos’ with their changing colours and Beethoven’s Symphonies!
In the tradition of stories introducing orchestral music like Piccolo and Sax and Peter and the Wolf, Luz and Sonidos is a musical and visual show for the whole family. Eight-year-old Luz finds herself immersed in the mysterious and colourful land of the orchestra, where she encounters the Sonidos-tiny, glowing creatures, like fireflies, who change colour depending on the different instrument families. Plunged deep into an orchestra-landscape that becomes an ocean or a volcano, Luz in turn visits a violin, a horn and an oboe; becomes a boat captain, a cave explorer and a ghost; and above all discovers an extraordinary universal cultural treasure: Beethoven’s nine Symphonies! After a preparatory workshop, Luz and Sonidos offers its audience a unique and enchanting musical and visual experience, with a poetic mix of animation and ‘real’ immersion into the complexity of the orchestra.
