Does my kid need to speak Romanian?

The program is listed in Romanian, with the story told by actor Mihai Bisericanu, so non-speakers will miss the words. Both pieces give each animal its own instrument, so reading Peter and the Wolf together beforehand lets kids follow along through the music.

Where can kids run around after the concert?

Cișmigiu Garden is about a 10-minute walk away and has playgrounds inside.

About

The Musical Barnyard pairs two classical pieces about animals. In Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, actor Mihai Bisericanu tells the story while each character gets its own instrument: a flute for the bird, an oboe for the duck, a clarinet for the cat, the horn for the wolf. Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals follows, with two pianos, strings and a cello swan. Mihai Cojocaru adds commentary.
