Peter and the Wolf for adults and the debate will be in norwegian.

At first glance, Prokofiev’s famous Peter and the Wolf may seem like innocent entertainment for children. But between the lines are major political themes and strong regime criticism. Wolfgang Plagge and musicians from the Royal Air Force Band share their insight into this musical satire - and connects it to today’s social and political debate. Should music be political, or is it best enjoyed as pure entertainment?

In cooperation with Ny Musikk Trondheim, Adresseavisen, Dokkhuset Scene and Luftforsvarets musikkorps.
