Peter and his grandfather live in the middle of the forest, surrounded by their animal friends. One day, when Peter leaves the garden gate open and steps into the clearing, his grandfather urgently warns him about a big wolf that is up to mischief in the forest. Peter fearlessly replies: He's not afraid! Meanwhile, some of his friends have also ventured through the gate – the duck is taking a dip in the pond, a small bird flutters up and the cat is wandering around on gentle paws. But when nobody is paying attention anymore, a big gray wolf sneaks up to the pond...
The famous classic by Sergei Prokofiev is a fairy tale and instrument knowledge at the same time. He sets the story of the careless and courageous Peter, who defeats the wolf with the help of his friends, to music in a painterly manner. Each adventurer is assigned a unique instrumentation and melody that accompanies them throughout the piece and translates their movements, sounds and characters into music. In this way, text and music merge into a unit that brings Peter, the wolf, grandfather and all the animals in the concert hall to life.

English

Peter und sein Großvater leben, umgeben von ihren tierischen Freundinnen und Freunden, mitten im Wald. Als Peter eines Tages das Gartentor offenstehen lässt und auf die Lichtung tritt, warnt der Großvater ihn eindringlich vor einem großen Wolf, der im Wald sein Unwesen treibt. Furchtlos entgegnet Peter: Er habe keine Angst! In der Zwischenzeit haben sich auch einige seiner Freund:innen durch das Tor gewagt – die Ente nimmt ein Bad im Teich, ein kleiner Vogel flattert heran und die Katze wandert auf sanften Pfoten umher. Doch als niemand mehr Acht gibt, schleicht sich auch ein großer grauer Wolf an den Teich heran …
Der berühmte Klassiker von Sergei Prokofjew ist Märchen und Instrumentenkunde zugleich. Klangmalerisch vertont er die Geschichte vom unbesonnen-mutigen Peter, der mithilfe seiner Freund:innen den Wolf bezwingt. Jeder Abenteurerin und jedem Abenteurer wird eine einzigartige Instrumentation und Melodie zugeordnet, die sie bzw. ihn durch das ganze Stück begleiten und ihre Bewegungen, Laute und Charaktere in Musik übertragen. So verschmelzen Text und Musik zu einer Einheit, durch die Peter, der Wolf, der  Großvater und alle Tiere im Konzertsaal lebendig werden.
