Prokofiev recurring?

At the risk of exposing an embarrassing lack of knowledge in classical music: what is the theme that recurs both on Alex's answering machine, and when Alex and Marc fight in the shadows of Marc's flat? It's so familiar as to be maddening; taken from Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf"?

you're right, it's Prokofiev, but it's not from "Peter and the Wolf", it's from "Romeo and Juliet". It was used also in a commercial ("Egoiste").
