Peter and the wolf

I was with my nephew at the playing of Peter and the Wolf this weekend. He found it very exciting, and was on the edge of his seat throughout. My only complaint was you couldn't see the percussion section enough, and this is always the fascinating bit for kiddies.

3 observations:
  • The ladies in front kept turning round and glaring at us every time he wasn't completely silent.
  • The man behind us congratulated my nephew on his appreciation of Prokofiev's piece
  • The ladies in front glared at my nephew when it was in fact the man behind tapping his feet.

Note to miserable ladies: Do not expect silence at a family concert. Why don't you go home, listen to it on a CD and have a cup of tea or a nice sherry.
