The holidays are around the corner and before you head to the airport to visit relatives or drive upstate to go skiing be sure to add a new tradition: the gorgeous and hysterical ballet of Peter and the Wolf. Why hysterical? Because fashion designer and TV personality Isaac Mizrahi will narrate the famous Prokofiev story – to which he has written a libretto. I have seen this production over the past several years and it just gets more and more clever each time.

Isaac Mizrahi didn t intend for his Peter in the Wolf to become a holiday tradition, but the Guggenheim keeps asking him back each December to recreate his production of Prokofiev s iconic children s symphony. And he s thrilled.
