Rachel Portman & Nicholas Wright’s The Little Prince

OVERVIEW

Rediscover the simple charm of childhood wonder as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s fanciful storybook is transformed into a magical opera—perfect for the whole family!

A young prince travels the universe and, determined to be reunited with his beloved Rose, explores his new surroundings looking for a way back to his tiny asteroid home planet. During his journey, he meets a number of colorful, and often puzzling, characters—each, in turn, sharing their mite of wisdom and helping (and sometimes hindering) the Little Prince’s attempt to return to Asteroid B-612.
