Pierre et le loup

Composed in 1936 by Sergueï Prokofiev, Pierre et le Loup features a narrator and an orchestra who tell the tale together: the voice unfolds the story, the music gives it life and colour. A gateway to the symphony orchestra.

For nearly a century, Pierre et le Loup has been one of the most performed works for introducing children to classical music.

By linking each character to an instrument, it offers the youngest audience members a playful, immediate way to learn to recognise the timbres of the orchestra, a listening landmark that stays with them long after the show. Come dressed up as your favourite character!

Whiskers for the cat, a beak for the duck, feathers for the bird, ears for the wolf... everyone has their own character, everyone their own touch! An outing for the whole family.

Performed by the Orchestre Sinfonia and a narrator, this family show brings the tale to life from within: children don't just listen, they learn to recognise each character by its instrument, until they can guess, eyes closed, who is about to enter the stage.

A story of courage, cunning and music, to be enjoyed together, young and old. And always a snack after each show to continue the adventure!
