About
Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, played with short-strung marionettes. Peter opens the garden gate and meets the big gray wolf, and every character has its own instrument: the waddling duck gets the oboe, the cat sneaks to the clarinet, and Peter's grandfather gets the bassoon. A first taste of classical music for kids who can follow a story told in German. It is a guest production at the marionette theater.
