Don’t Miss: Peter & The Wolf Narrated by Isaac Mizrahi at The Guggenheim

11/28/2012 by Maytal

by Contributing Blogger Maytal Wichman

The best way to get kids excited about classical music is to make it fun for them. And what can be more fun than the classic story of Peter & The Wolf where a young boy overcomes a big, scary wolf? And to make it more fun each character has his own instrument! The Guggenheim Museum is holding its annual event of ten performances of this children’s classic which is a part of the Works & Process performing arts series. (Read more after the jump).

The music, written by Sergei Prokofiev, will be performed by the Juilliard Ensemble, conducted by George Manahan. Fashion designer & TV personality Isaac Mizrahi will captivate the audience in his narration of this timeless tale. In the story, the wolf, who has swallowed the duck, is captured by Peter’s brilliant scheme with the help of his friend, the bird. All’s well that ends well when the hunters arrive to take the wolf to the zoo.

After the 30-minute performance the audience is invited to view an installation on the stage by renowned artist Will Cotton, in which the familiar characters are set within a kinetic gingerbread chalet inspired by Austrian Cuckoo clocks – Cotton’s largest painting to date. Click here for a sneak peek at the installation and an interview with Cotton about his inspiration for the art.
