L'heure espagnole/L'enfant et les sortilèges

Laurent Pelly directs a new production of a pair of Ravel shorts. 'L'heure espagnole' tells of a clockmaker's wife, Concepción, who devises complex conceits to conceal the visits of her paramours. Then, in 'L'enfant et les sortilèges' a bad-tempered child is rebuked by his abused toys. Cast includes Stéphanie d'Oustrac, Elliot Madore, François Piolino, Khatouna Gadelia, Elodie Méchain, Alek Shrader and Paul Gray.
