"Hello possums!' It's me Dame Edna, and I will be your chaperone for this very special family concert outing."

We begin with the broom-splitting magic of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and then the housewife from Moonee Ponds takes to the stage in her best frock for what she likes to call a "little story about bravery and animal rights" - Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

The finale is the fabulously Spanishy tale of Juanita, a lobster living in a grotto off the coast of Wales. Where else?

A performance for grown-ups with additional music by Saint-Saëns and Falla is offered on Friday 21 & Saturday 22 June. 

Recording of Juanita the Spanish Lobster with conductor Stephen Simon and the London Philharmonic Orchestra can be purchased at www.maestroclassics.com.
