Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood | Adelaide Symphony Orchestra | 18 October 2013

The forest. Strange. Eerie. Mysterious. A place of magic and surprise!

So begins the Orchestra version of Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood, with a delightful full-orchestra score by Paul Patterson. Rest assured, the familiar cast of characters are here: there’s a wolf, a grandma and a little girl in a red cape. But Dahl has twisted things around and spiced things up. Dahl’s feisty Little Red can certainly take care of a dim-witted wolf by herself!

Three performers bring Roald Dahl’s bizarre imagination to life in Dandi Productions’ sparkling presentation with skilful lighting, bold costuming, incredible puppets and clear, broad acting. Paul Patterson’s score entertains an all-ages audience from start to finish with its modern sensibilities and its dazzling dramatic flourishes, inspired by Dahl’s famous text.

Remember, this is the work of Britain’s Roald Dahl, and the British have a centuries-old tradition of pantomime and broad comedy… all lovingly interpreted by the members of the Dandi troupe – who bound on stage in their highly-recognizable red long-underwear.

Take a symphonic walk through Roald Dahl’s magical, terrifying, hilarious forest.  Presented by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, the largest performing arts organisation in South Australia.
