The VSO Presents “Peter and the Wolf” at the Orpheum

ENTERTAINMENT SECTION:  SHOW REVIEWS OF “PETER AND THE WOLF” SYMPHONY FOR KIDS

The Junior Staff of THE BEGBIE BUZZ were excited to go into the city core to listen to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s rendition of “PETER AND THE WOLF.”  The children were in AWE of the beauty of the Orpheum Theatre.  Honest reactions to the stunning venue included:

  • “Wow……..” (mesmerized by the chandeliers, with mouths gaping)
  • “Are we going into a castle?”
  • “This feels like a mansion!”
  • “It looks like Elsa’s (of FROZEN infamy) house!”
  • “This is where rich people live!!!!”

The students then watched the live show that included many talented musicians, a wonderful conductor, and a lively narrator.

Upon our return to school, the Junior Staff of THE BEGBIE BUZZ were split into several teams.  The students took on different duties for our digital newspaper…

TEAM #1:

MARKETING:  the kids created print ads for the sole purpose of promoting the live show

TEAM #2

RESEARCH:  the children researched the back story of “Peter and the Wolf” so that our newspaper audience could have a better understanding and appreciation of the musical rendition

TEAM #3

COMMUNITY ALERTS AND CRIME STOPPERS:  this group was responsible for creating “WANTED” posters to alert the general public of the terrible crime the villain from “Peter and the Wolf” had committed

TEAM #4:

Entertainment News:  the show critics gave their honest reviews of the live performance, sharing their thoughts with the public whether or not the show was worth the cost of a ticket
