The guide presents the fantastic Grünewald Hall, its origins, and adornments by the painter Isaac Grünewald (1889–1946).

In this hall, with 460 seats, chamber music is mainly played, but also jazz, choral singing, global music, and concerts for young children. The paintings of the artist Isaac Grünewald decorate the ceiling as well as the walls. The motifs are inspired by the myths of classical Greece and the history of music.

The humorous and captivating story of Peter and the Wolf is undoubtedly the most beloved musical tale ever created. Based on a Russian folktale, Sergei Prokofiev's remarkable music has entertained generations of children and adults since its premiere in 1936.

Peter lives a simple life on a farm with his grandfather. He is an outcast among the local children, and his best friends are a bird, a cat, and a slightly scatterbrained duck. Despite his grandfather’s warnings, Peter takes his friends into the alluring but dangerous forest, where the wolf is lurking.

Each character is musically portrayed by a different instrument. The cat is a softly prowling clarinet, the duck a quacking oboe, the grandfather is heard through the bassoon, and the wolf is brought to life by three menacing French horns. To help children learn what the different instruments look and sound like, the performance begins with an introduction by each instrument.

The performance also features illustrations by the legendary artist Ilon Wikland, renowned for her long collaboration with Astrid Lindgren.
