The Snowman and Peter Wolf

Thursday 29 December at The Royal Centre

This Christmas, treat your family to a double bill of festive music and movie favourites, performed live by the acclaimed Royal Northern Sinfonia.

Peter and his animal companions are brought to life before your ears by dancing strings, quacking oboes, fluttering flutes and prowling horns in Prokofiev’s charming tale of courage and friendship, Peter and the Wolf. 

Raymond Briggs’ classic animated story of The Snowman, which has been delighting family audiences for over 30 years, is screened with live orchestral soundtrack. Howard Blake’s much loved music, which includes the unforgettable Walking in the Air, here sung live, remains the soundtrack to every child’s dream Christmas.

Get tickets (£15.50 - £21.50)
