Presentation

Prokofiev's beloved musical fairy tale is joined by new music, dance and the magic of theatre.

It is morning on the farm where Pekka lives with his grandfather. Grandfather has already started work and the farm animals have also woken up. Pekka is a brave boy, but despite his grandfather's warnings, he does not always remember to close the gate. Such is the case also this morning. At least the duck living on the farm enjoys being allowed to bathe in the puddle outside the yard for once, but what happens when a wolf arrives from the surrounding forest? Fortunately, Pekka is not only brave but also witty, so there is no cause for alarm.

 The joint work of the Helsinki City Theatre and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra pays homage to Prokofiev's original work while also introducing new music, dance and the magic of theatre.

Age recommendation 5+
