Details

The second act comprises of the original Peter and the Wolf, while Act 1 serves as a prequel to the classic story, featuring a text by Richard Sparks and music by Erik van der Wurff. The first act is set in a picturesque classroom that opens onot a meadow and centres on a boy and his classmates, each of whom foreshadows a character from Prokofiev's masterpiece. There's the vain and self-involved wolf; the bickering duck and bird; and the cat. Narrating the action is their inventive and inspiring teacher, who guides the performers and audience through a magical day at school. In Act 2 the classroom dissolves, and the children become the characters from Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. Supported by Classic FM
