PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf, op. 67
Family-favorite Peter and the Wolf is Prokofiev's fantastical tale in which Peter and a myriad of unruly animals are brought to life by the instruments of the orchestra to tell a tale in which good triumphs over evil. The Prokofiev classic is an exciting musical experience with live narration and surprises of all sorts! This performance is a great way for your child, and for the child at heart to have a great introduction to the orchestra.
