ABOUT THE LITTLE PRINCE An opera for 2nd-12th graders! The Little Prince is a magical, imaginative opera based on the 1943 book of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The story follows the Little Prince as he journeys across different worlds, meeting eccentric characters who reveal the absurdities of adult behavior before arriving on Earth, where he learns profound lessons about friendship.
