An Evening at the Opera – The Little Prince Family Opera

Introduce your family to the magic of opera with this special, family-friendly performance of The Little Prince, inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved classic. Designed especially for children and families, this enchanting production offers a delightful operatic experience in a format perfectly suited for younger audiences.

When a pilot stranded in the desert meets a mysterious young prince from another planet, an unforgettable journey begins. Traveling from asteroid to asteroid and finally to Earth, the Little Prince shares timeless lessons about friendship, love, loss, and the importance of seeing with the heart—reminding us that “what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

This performance runs less than 60 minutes with no intermission, making it ideal for first-time opera-goers and families with young children. The opera is sung in English with projected English titles, ensuring the story is easy to follow for all ages.
