Peter and the Wolf

On an open family day in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra will perform Peter and the Wolf, one of the most beloved musical adventures of all time. It combines an exciting story and unforgettable music by Sergei Prokofiev, who gives each character in the tale their own theme and instrument. Young Peter lives with his grandfather, who takes a dim view of the boy's escapades beyond the confines of their garden – for in the forest lives a dangerous wolf. Even so, Peter's zest for adventure overtakes his good sense, setting off a thrilling chain of events. Along the way, the bird, the duck, and the cat all make an appearance – as does the greedy wolf, whose life Peter spares in spite of everything.

The concert will take place in Flói. Illustrations for the performance are by Cécile Parcillié. The storyteller is actress Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, and conductor is Ross Jamie Collins.

Free entry and everyone is welcome!
