Avant Chamber Ballet presents
Peter and the Wolf
Join the courageous young scout Peter as he embarks on an adventure to the zoo in this much-loved ballet with a musical twist with narration in English and Spanish!
In a family-friendly tale, Peter meets a collection of cheeky animal characters, including a rascally wolf, an unlucky duck, a clever cat, and a delicate bluebird.
The musical education of young listeners was in mind when Sergei Prokofiev composed this renowned score back in 1936. Throughout this imaginative retelling, each musical instrument represents a character: Peter is represented by the strings family; the delicate bluebird follows the notes of the flute; and the stealthy wolf is portrayed by the French horns. The cat moves in tune with the clarinet; the oboe and the duck are a perfect match; and the loveable Grandma moves steadily to the sound of the bassoon.
Paul Mejia’s choreography will draw audiences of all ages into the symphonic tale, while bilingual narration is a perfect addition to the storytelling aspect for children. With colourful costumes, sets, and lighting design, this is a visually charming Peter and the Wolf.
As part of the Avant Chamber Ballet Families Series, all tickets are $25 or only $20 with subscription.
