December 13 Peter and the Wolf in Jumilla

Pedro y el Lobo at the Teatro Vico in Jumilla

For 90 years now families all over the western world have been introducing young children to the world of orchestral music through “Peter and the Wolf”, a work composed in 1936 by Sergei Prokofiev.

The plot of the story is similar to a Russian folk tale, and concerns a young country boy who challenges an adult. However, Prokofiev spiced it up by introducing the capture of a wolf by Peter and his friends, and at the same time the political climate in Russia at that time that it was almost obligatory to include the promotion of Soviet values such as bravery and vigilance.

This aspect may seem dated, but the music and the story remains delightful for listeners of all ages! This performance includes elements of both theatre and the recycling and repurposing of common household objects…

This performance at the historic Teatro Vico in Jumilla on Friday 13^th December begins at 18.00 with tickets available online here at 4 and 6 euros.
