Three masters, one stage: ‘Peter and the Wolf' and ‘Little Red Riding Hood' hit the stage this August
A classic fairytale by Charles Perrault dating back to the late 1600s, Little Red Riding Hood is a story we're all familiar with. In case you need a recap, it follows a young girl walking through the woods to bring food to her sick grandmother as the big bad wolf stalks her.
To be directed by Ballet Philippines' Mikhail Martynyuk, Little Red Riding Hood will be a full-length ballet that features the compositions of French conductor Camille Saint-Saens and Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and promises a family-friendly approach to the beloved classic. 'Around the world, there are hundreds of versions of Little Red Riding Hood . We'll be reimagining our version to be more playful… We can't have the wolf eat the grandmother on stage,' says Martynyuk with a laugh.
Ballet Philippines' Peter and the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood runs for five performances from August 1 to 3, 2025, at the Theatre at Solaire, Parañaque. For more information, visit their social media pages.
