    Child friendly

    by DMC64 on 3/15/17Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    In trying to make this show child friendly, they may have gone overboard as the narrator and puppets were a bit infantile. The orchestra was very good however and it's a classic piece.

    Peter & the Wolf

    by GrannyMaJodi on 11/26/14Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Conductor Dana Zimbric did a wonderful job of introducing the orchestra, the music, & the story, explaining everything in a way that was easily understandable for children but still interesting to adults. The music was beautifully performed. The dancers conveyed the personalities of their characters so well that my friend's 6-year old granddaughter was on the edge of her seat throughout & when the wolf came out she jumped to her feet in excitement! My children grew up on this music & story, but this was the first time I've seen it performed with live dance & it was perfect. Well done!

    This was a great first introduction to live classical music for my kids. All three of them loved it!

    We thought this production was charming! Our 3 year old grandchild was with us and he was totally captivated by the music and the story. I'd see it again!

    Very disappointed

    by JuliePickerington on 11/22/11Studio One Riffe Center - Columbus

    We attended the 2:30 show on Sunday. Both my daughter and I were extremely disappointed in the production of Peter and the Wolf. We went because my daughter loves the music, however they used little of the music and it could barely be heard. Instead, the production was a spoof and was something similar to what kids in a backyard would put on. With service charges the two tickets cost us over $50 and was one of my daughter's 3 Christmas gifts. She was very excited, only to be brought to tears that she wasted one of her gifts on something so poorly done. Waste of money that I really didn't have to spare.

    The children loved it.

    by wirbelwind on 11/15/11Studio One Riffe Center - Columbus

    I was pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction the children had to the play. The incorporation of the children into the process seemed to be the key. The play remained appropriately theatrical without resorting to the "hey kids!" sort of popular culture appeal. Adults suffered very minimally. There was no need for teeth gnashing, and there was no assault on adult sensibilities. At worst it was at times a bit tiresome, which was a very small price to pay for a wonderful early exposure to theater for the children.

    Peter and the Wolf was disappointing

    by GrandmaChristine on 11/15/11Studio One Riffe Center - Columbus

    Peter and the Wolf is an old Russian folk tale, upon which Prokofiev's musical score was based. The story ends starkly - the wolf has swallowed the duck, and even the slaughter of the wolf does not bring the duck back. The music is beautiful and evocative. In the Phoenix production, the music is used ineffectively - it seemed to be something to interrupt in order to continue the adaptation's "hook" of insufficient resources to mount the play, requiring the participation of youngsters from the audience. This ploy was disrespectful of the music. Furthermore, the drastically altered end of the story, which has the duck being disgorged from the wolf who is then sent to a zoo, stripped the meaning from the tale. Nobody learned anything from this adaptation of a classical folk tale - but perhaps the small children in attendance got to feel important when they stepped onstage to help the production along.
