Orlando Ballet to present 'Peter & The Wolf'

Orlando Ballet will present “Peter & The Wolf” Oct. 25 and 26, at the Garden Theatre, 160 W. Plant St., Winter Garden.

Performances will be at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m Saturday, Oct. 25, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. The production is part of the theater’s 2014-15 live season.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Orlando Ballet is Central Florida’s only fully residential professional ballet company and will be the first resident dance company of the new Dr. Phillips Center. While Orlando Ballet performances can typically be found in downtown Orlando, these Garden Theatre performances offer audiences a West Orange County experience. 

This colorful, theatrical family ballet tells the classic story of young Peter and the animals that live in the forest surrounding his grandfather’s house. Courtesy of GG’s Fund For Kids, patrons can enjoy a complimentary party at 1 p.m. each performance day, where aspiring dancers can meet and greet with the professionals and enjoy a variety of activities.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $21 for students/seniors. They may be purchased by calling the Garden Theatre Box Office, (407) 877-4736 or online at gardentheatre.org.
