Peter and the Wolf

PETER AND THE WOLF — FAMILY MATINEE AT 2pm

This matinee presentation is designed especially for young children and families. Prokofiev brings the story of Peter and the Wolf to life using instruments of the orchestra to represent the characters of this beloved children’s story. Narrated by CBC Radio’s Dan Lessard, this magical tale will capture your imagination! After the performance, follow the parade of instruments to the lobby to meet the characters of Peter and the Wolf in the SSO’s own ‘instrument petting zoo.’
