A worldwide symbol of youthful optimism, The Little Prince — set to music for the San Francisco Opear by British composer Rachel Portman — unearths profound observations concerning the essence of life in simple, precise language. After crashing in the desert, a pilot meets the Little Prince, who tells of the interesting planets he's visited and the beautiful rose he loves. By turns contemplative and wistful, the Prince reminds the pilot of the values that adults (and people in general) seem to have forgotten. With its bright sets and tuneful score, this charming opera captures the poignancy and magic of Antoine de Saint Exupéry's beloved classic.
