Peter and the Wolf – A Musical Tale for Children
Peter and the Wolf – an immersive musical experience for children
Written in 1936, Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf has become a timeless children’s classic. The narrator tells the story, adapted from a Russian folk tale, of the boy Peter, his grumpy grandfather, a duck, a bird and a cat – and of course, the wolf which Peter eventually catches and takes to the zoo.
Each character is brought to life by unforgettable music and children very quickly learn to distinguish between the different themes and sonorities.
Children actively join in the performance, supported and encouraged by Noa – each has a prop or a puppet so that they can engage with the drama as the story unfolds. We would suggest that children from 3 to 9 would enjoy the event.
William Hancox will provide the music live, using Prokofiev’s own arrangement for solo piano. Toby Sims will narrate the story.
Puppets designed and created by Danoush Lachman
Child friendly refreshments included.
