A perennial favourite of C’è Musica & Musica is undoubtedly Peter and the wolf, Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved musical tale, a work we never tire of hearing. Entertaining, engaging and deeply moving, it continues to captivate audiences of all ages. We may all cheer for Peter, yet in the end we cannot help but feel sympathy for the poor wolf as he is taken to the zoo - and, given the chance, many of us would gladly set him free. Each narrator brings a distinctive perspective to the story, shaping it according to their own artistic sensibility. On this occasion, the tale will be narrated by Angela Finocchiaro, the celebrated Italian stage, film and television actress, renowned for her outstanding comic talent. The Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra will be conducted by the young and highly accomplished Italian-Russian conductor Sieva Borzak.
