MONTREAL, Feb. 14, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Espace pour la vie announced today that tickets are now on sale for a brand new experience for babies 0 to 18 months and their parents at the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium. From March 13 to May 22, it is not babies who will "follow" their parents around, but the parents who will accompanies their young children through an immersive show specially designed to meet their need to be awakened and stimulated. The audacious proposal of the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan is the offshoot of a GSI Musique production created by the Montreal studio Noisy Head with the music of Bébé symphonique, a magnificent album of 7 pieces composed for infants by maestro Simon Leclerc and performed by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. Presented as a double feature tailored to this specific audience, the Bébé symphonique show will be followed by Stardust for those interested in discovering the starry sky in the company of a scientific guide.
Curled up snugly in bean bags under the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan's colourful and starry dome, parents and babies can let themselves be enchanted by the music of Bébé symphonique, and pursue the experience under the celestial vault!
