Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic novella, which tells the story of a stranded pilot who meets a little boy from another planet, is brought to life by the Cincinnati Chamber Opera in its first production of the season. The family-friendly show is composed by Rachel Portman and features a chorus from the Cincinnati Children’s Choir, a 20-player orchestra and eight principal artists from the CCO. The thought-provoking saga revolves around the Little Prince’s journey to Earth and the unusual planets and characters he discovers along the way.
