Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood
Giuseppe Pietraroia, conductor / Dandi Productions
Take a symphonic walk through Roald Dahl’s magical, terrifying, hilarious forest. The familiar cast of characters is here: there’s a wolf, a grandma and a little girl in a red cape. But Dahl, author of such children’s classics as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and
the Giant Peach, has twisted things around and spiced them up. Dahl’s feisty Little Red can certainly take care of a dim-witted wolf by herself!
