Sergei Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf

Surrounded by a tall wooden fence, Peter's small, weather-battered house is a hair's breadth away from the peril-laden, snow-covered forest. But, against the backdrop of hair-raising stories about ferocious beasts, and the blood-curdling howling of the wolves, Peter decides to disobey his protective grandfather, and with the help of an affectionate pet duck and a young raven with a wounded wing, off he goes to discover the intriguing world beyond the impenetrable barrier. However, this is the dark realm of the big, bad wolf. Can fearless Peter outsmart the hairy, hungry monster with the glowing eyes?
