In Odesa, the children's ballet pantomime "Peter Pan" is once again being performed by the Svetlana Antipova Studio, and this is exactly the case where the theater can be recommended to families without hesitation.

What is this performance about
This is a ballet-pantomime for children in 2 acts, created based on the fairy tale by James M. Barrie about a boy who did not want to grow up. The performance features music by Rossini, Grieg, Delibes, Messager, and Strauss, and an audio recording is used during the show.

Is it worth going
If you are looking for not just a "performance" for your child, but a living fairy tale with movement, music, and a clear story, then this is a very good choice. The pantomime format makes the plot accessible even for those who do not yet enjoy long dialogues, and the combination of a children's studio and a professional stage usually adds sincerity to the performance. Moreover, the show takes place in one of the most famous theaters in the city, so a visit can be turned into a beautiful family event.
