Sergei Prokofiev’s fanciful musical tale, Peter and the Wolf, is given new life in this innovative animated interpretation. Conceived and directed by award-winning animator Suzie Templeton, this modern-day Peter & the Wolf uses stop-frame model animation, puppets and digital photography to re-tell the enduring classic, and features the Philharmonia Orchestra under the direction of Mark Stephenson performing Prokofiev’s beloved score.

This video clip takes you behind-the-scenes to check out the making of Peter.

GREAT PERFORMANCES is produced for PBS by Thirteen/WNET New York.
