It was premiered posthumously in 1954, conducted by Yuri Fayer.

Peter and the Wolf (2006 film) Wolf with a gun. After looking into the Wolf's sorry eyes and having become disillusioned with both his grandfather as well as the town for its poor treatment to them both, Peter opens the cage and the Wolf races back into the forest. The ending is a complete departure from the original, in which the wolf is presumably left caged in the zoo. Throughout the latter parts of the story, the duck can be heard quacking inside the wolf, implying it is still alive. "Peter & the Wolf" was a multinational production. The main producers were UK production company BreakThru
