Peter and the Wolf Live - Musical Themes

The 2008 Oscar-winning animated film Peter and the Wolf, with live accompaniment from the City of London Sinfonia in this world premiere stage show at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on Friday 8 May 2009.

Prokofiev's playful classic, Peter and the Wolf is one of the most popular pieces of classical music for children, who are enchanted by its powerful storytelling. Each character in the story is associated with a particular musical instrument - shown here in this video - and before the orchestra perform Prokofiev's lively music, the narrator sets the scene and introduces the animated cast.

This live stage show incorporates cutting-edge video technology and ingenious models, while the film, projected above the stage, uses stop-frame animation, bringing the captivating world of Peter and the Wolf alive before your eyes.

'The joy of this film is the care, sensitivity and imagination that matches even Prokofiev's work' (Independent on Peter and the Wolf).

'A thrillingly beautiful animation' (Sunday Times).

This promises to be an accessible and exciting musical experience for all the family.

This is the worst version ever!! I just tried to watch it on dvd, but it was so awful that I got on youtube to find the Disney version. The intro isn't bad, but the entire rest of this version is SO freaking EMO!
