A sensitive and imaginative retelling of the classic story
Description
Recommended for ages 6+
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 compositions for children.
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.

Reviews
"...vivid animation delighted the audience: this Peter should make lots of little wolf-cubs very content."
- The Times
"This is to say how very much we enjoyed the performance. The way the film was presented and accompanied made Peter and the Wolf newly fresh... There was a buzz and excitement in the hall and we all went away feeling happy and stimulated - a real achievement!"
- Frances Prokofiev, Prokofiev Estate
"The joy of this film is the care, sensitivity and imagination that matches even Prokofiev’s work."
- The Independent
"Peter’s tale has been animated before, but never so wondrously…"
- The Daily Californian, USA
"Without a syllable of dialogue spoken of Prokofiev’s music, the filmmakers have given us laughter, excitement and horror in a rich 29 minutes that deserves the Oscar..."
