Peter and the Wolf

Marina and I had tickets to see Peter and the Wolf at the Colorado Symphony this afternoon. Marina always wants to dress up when we go out, so she decided to wear her Red Riding Hood costume. After all, her story contains a wolf as well.

We arrived with enough time to get drinks and find our seats before the concert began. We laughed when the conductor, Christopher Dragon, came out. He had crazy mad scientist hair. And throughout the concert he had funny facial expressions and body movements. That kept Marina entertained through some of the less familiar music.

She did seem to recognize parts of The William Tell Overture. When they started Peter and the Wolf, a narrator came out to tell the story. That helped Marina to recognize the musical themes throughout.

After the concert she reluctantly let me take a few pictures before we went home.
