RACHEL PORTMAN
Libretto by Nicholas Wright.
Based on the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
A
beloved classic of children's literature has been turned into a warm, wondrous
opera for the whole family. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s fable about a pilot who
crash-lands in the desert and meets an open-hearted boy from another planet is
a gentle reminder to hold onto what is truly important in life. It has been set to
music by Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman, whose score has
been praised by critics as "graceful and tuneful" and "colorful and charming."
Francesca Zambello’s production, with witty sets and costumes by Maria Bjørnson,
adds richness and depth to the book’s charming illustrations.
This special production is presented in partnership with Cal Performances, and will be performed at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley.
