Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.

In French.  Ages 7 and up.

From Vivaldi’s virtuosic Winter and Heinichen’s Pastorale to Bach chorale echoes and Mozart sonatas and divertimento, the evening unfolds with radiant sonorities and fresh, intimate interplay between organ, strings and orchestra.
