Once Upon a Tune Peter & The Wolf Before the narrator tells us the wolf is approaching, the horns have already given him away. In Sergei Prokofiev's beloved musical tale, Peter & The Wolf, every character has its own orchestral voice. The UAE National Orchestra brings the story to life as part of its Once Upon a Tune family series, for children aged 5 to 10 and their families. As Peter's adventure unfolds, young listeners discover the instruments of the Orchestra through character, movement and suspense, learning how melody, rhythm and sound can tell a story. The experience also includes a special "Meet the Conductor" section, giving children the chance to get closer to the Orchestra and discover what happens behind the baton. Whether experiencing an orchestra for the first time or returning with their families, children are invited to listen, imagine and discover what comes next. Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026 Venue: The Red Theater, The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi Doors Open: 3:00 PM Reserved Seating No refund/cancellation | This event is for ages 5 and up
