CARCASSONNE
AN ELEPHANT is no ordinary character: it is Babar himself, who, for almost a hundred years, has captured the imagination of generations of children in his iconic green suit.
VERONA is the legendary city where the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet unfolds. Why and how bring these two worlds together? Through music, of course!
