Performances of the children’s classic will be presented in English and Spanish
On Sunday, January 15th, 2012, River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) and InterActive Theater
Company will present two performances of the children’s classic, Peter and the Wolf, in partnership with
The Houston Zoo. The story, whose original intent was to “cultivate musical tastes in children from the
first years of school,” still delights and entertains. An ensemble of ROCO musicians will play Prokofiev’s
composition while actors from InterActive Theater Company, narrate and act out the story, first in
English, and a second time in Spanish. These performances will be part of a program that promotes
understanding of Wolf Conservation.
Free with zoo admission.
