“PETER AND THE WOLF”
ON FEBRUARY 6, 2026 - 9:00 PM**

On Friday, February 6, 2026, the show “Peter and the Wolf,” one of the most famous works by Sergej Prokofiev, will have its national premiere, followed by a tour throughout Italy. Joining Enrico Lo Verso on stage will be Samanta Chieffallo, Margherita Pelanda, Daniela Savoldi, and Raffaella Zappalà. Video art by Emanuele Rossi. The direction is by Francesco Branchetti.

Peter and the Wolf is a tale for actor and orchestra by Sergej Prokofiev. This work was first performed in 1936 in Moscow during a concert dedicated to children, which garnered great interest from critics and the public. This composition is a true "musical fairy tale," narrating the story of Peter, who, with the help of a little bird, captures a dangerous wolf. The actor narrates the fairy tale while the music comments on each scene, illustrating the character, feelings, and actions of each character: Peter, the little bird Sasha, Sonia the duck, the cat Ivan, the Grandfather, the Wolf, and the hunters. “This is a musical fairy tale and, since all fairy tales have characters, each of them is represented by a different instrument and musical theme” (Sergej Prokofiev).

“With this wonderful fairy tale, we tell the difficult journey towards freedom,” adds Francesco Branchetti, “it is a show full of metaphors, images, and hidden meanings, much like the original masterpiece from which we start. Every poetic, creative, and artistic moment assumes capital importance in this historical period, in contrast to a society like ours that seems to fight against every form of poetry, grace, and purity.

The direction aims to restore to this great work the extraordinary ability to enchant in a wonderful dance, in a refined interplay between the actor and the sounds of the orchestra and the colors, which leaves space for melancholy, comedy, and tenderness. Lights, video art, and miming will contribute to bringing characters, animals, and much more to life; they are true actors in the story we are telling and protagonists in creating wonderful poetic atmospheres. They will create magical atmospheres and provide a fundamental contribution to this journey into an enchanting world that, with disarming simplicity, brings us back to the natural cycle of life and nature.
