Peter and the Wolf
Peter, grumpy grandad, the duck, the bird, the cat and the infamous wolf are finally set to grace the brand-new Talbot Theatre stage in August.
Following multiple COVID-related setbacks, we are thrilled to present this charming family ballet to Brisbane audiences in our world premiere at our reimagined home, the Thomas Dixon Centre.
Tickets to the new August season of Peter and the Wolf are available now.
A My First Ballet production
Follow the courageous young scout Peter on an adventure of a lifetime in this symphonic fairytale ballet designed for families.
Children, parents, and grandparents will enjoy a lesson in musical appreciation as orchestral instruments accompany the dancers in a reimagined telling of Peter’s trip to the zoo and the rascally wolf, unlucky duck, and graceful bird he meets there.
When Russian-born composer Sergei Prokofiev composed the score and narration of Peter and the Wolf in 1936, it was with the musical education of young listeners in mind. Throughout this imaginative retelling, each musical instrument represents a character: Peter is represented by the string family, the delicate bluebird follows the notes of the flute, while the stealthy wolf is portrayed by the French horns. Loveable Grandpa moves steadily to the sound of the bassoon.
With colourful costumes, loveable creatures, and plenty of charm, Queensland Ballet choreographer Greg Horsman gives this much-loved story a contemporary twist.
Composed as an introduction to the orchestra for children, the lively production fits perfectly with Queensland Ballet’s ‘My First Ballet series’, inspiring the littlest of ballet lovers.
