Celebrating Gustavo Dudamel’s 17-year tenure as Music & Artistic Director, the Los Angeles Philharmonic presents one of Sergei Prokofiev’s most popular works that highlights the composer’s enormous gift for colorful storytelling: Peter and the Wolf, brilliantly narrated by EGOT winning actress and producer Viola Davis. The artists’ winning interpretation of Peter and the Wolf was recorded at the Hollywood Bowl in July 2021 and was part of a joyous return to live music after lengthy lockdowns. Following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Peter Ustinov, Leonard Bernstein, and David Bowie, Viola Davis took on the role of narrator. The magical and dramatic folk tale, that teaches its listeners about the different instruments of the orchestra, was a hit with audiences and critics alike.
