Film Symphonic with Dirk Brossé

Sergei Prokofiev’s musical tale Peter and the Wolf is given new life in this innovative new animated interpretation, which won the 2008 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. “Oldies will remember the work from school music lessons,” wrote London’s OBSERVER, “while those coming to the story for the first time will be delighted with this darkly comic modernization.” Conceived and directed by award-winning animator Suzie Templeton, this modern-day Peter & the Wolf uses stop-frame model animation, puppets, and digital photography to retell the enduring classic story, and features the Belgian National Orchestra under the direction of Dirk Brossé performing Prokofiev’s beloved score.
