L’Enfant et les Sortilèges – The show
As part of the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth, the Ravel Festival offered fourth and fifth grade classes at the Marinela school in Ciboure a musical and artistic journey based on Ravel’s L’Enfant et les Sortilèges (libretto by Colette). Throughout the 2024-2025 school year, the students took part in workshops on singing, staging, and visual arts.
On June 6, 2025, the public performance of the work they had been preparing all year marked the culmination of the project. A look back at a magical evening in pictures!
