Valspec - La chèvre de Monsieur Séguin

Music
Ages 5 and up
Duration: 60 minutes

Monsieur Seguin’s little goat dreamed of freedom. She left to explore the mountain against her master’s wishes and paid the ultimate price when she crossed paths with the wolf.

Part opera, part theatre, this quirky production features two singers, two actors, and a pianist who bring a playful twist to the story before diving into the unique blend of drama and courage in Daudet’s classic tale.

A work of great artistry that will make you laugh, cry, and even feel a little scared… but not too much! After journeys through Brazil and Mexico, Monsieur Seguin’s Goat, a classic beloved by generations of children, is back on tour in Québec in an even more moving version.
