To celebrate the 80th anniversary of its French publication, and in partnership with Gallimard Jeunesse, The Little Prince returns to the stage as a poetic and immersive musical tale! Performed by a troupe of young actor-singers and the Silmaril Orchestra, composed of sixteen musicians, the show offers a unique blend of theatre, singing, and classical music.
The show was composed and directed by Balthazar Pouilloux, with original music by Balthazar Pouilloux and Adrien Mercier, and orchestral arrangements by Adrien Mercier. Staging was created by Rosa Carrier and Balthazar Pouilloux to deliver an immersive and poetic theatrical experience.
The musical tale brings to life the iconic characters from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece: a talking fox, a delicate rose, a solitary king, a lamplighter… and, of course, the Little Prince, with his gentle melancholy and mystery. Narrated by Denis Podalydès, the show takes audiences of all ages on a poetic and universal journey.
Open to all from age 6, the performance lasts 1 hour and 10 minutes and will be presented in two shows: Friday, April 17 at 8 PM and Sunday, April 19 at 3 PM at Salle Cortot, 78 rue Cardinet, 75017 Paris.
The musical tale, narrated by Denis Podalydès, will also be available as an audiobook starting April 2, with book-CD signing sessions scheduled after the concerts.
