Boys like Peter are not afraid of wolves! Bring the family to Regent Hall as a live orchestra plays Prokofiev's classic to accompany Suzie Templeton's beautifully atmospheric Academy Award® winning stop motion animated masterpiece (2008 Oscar® winner - Best Animated Short Film).
Peter is a lonely boy in a bleak wintry world who lives with his over protective grandfather, just beyond the fence from a world of freedom and wonder - but it's also a world of danger in the form of a prowling, hungry wolf. With his friends, the fluffy duck and a bird with a broken wing, Peter breaks out and adventure ensues! Co-starring a gloriously diva-ish cat and a pair of villainous hunters, the animation choreographs exquisitely to Prokofiev's famous score, with each character having its own instrumental theme.
The performance will feature some special guests, and an extended introduction to the orchestral music and themes with St Paul's Sinfonia, led by conductor/presenter Stuart Hancock on stage in front of the big screen. And - as with all good trips to the movies - there'll be a trailer (exclusively with live orchestra) previewing an exciting new British animated film coming to cinemas very soon!
The event lasts 40-45 minutes, with performances at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.
