Description

Peter is a determined boy with a thirst for adventure. He wants to stare into the eyes of the thing that scares him the most – but what will happen when he does? Since its premiere in Moscow in 1936, Prokofiev’s orchestral parable has become one of the most enduring works of music education.

Peter & the Wolf Live is now a compelling stage production. It encapsulates the Oscar®-winning animation, Peter & the Wolf, by BreakThru Films, with live performance from the original score by the renowned Sydney Youth Orchestra. A special guest narrator will bring this iconic tale to life.

This is a sensitive and imaginative retelling of this classic story in a contemporary landscape, using state-of-the-art HD technology. It introduces modern twists and environmental themes, while retaining all the educational and musical genius at the piece’s core.
