Exceptionally, an opera is being offered to you in the context of the Wednesday Concerts. About his new creation based on Saint-Exupery’s "Petit prince", Michaël Levinas declares: “I wrote for children and adults from all cultures, a lyric piece, a missive, that sings the text and the message of the “Petit prince”, this extraordinary being, who comes from far away, a diaphanous and enigmatic child that Saint-Exupery met in the desert.” The Orchestre de Picardie will be along for the adventure, augmented by electronic and computerized music. The ideal hour for the whole family to discover a modern opera.
Opera by Michaël Levinas (born in 1949). Libretto by Michaël Levinas after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (©Éditions Gallimard, 1946). Creation at Opéra de Lausanne the 5th november 2014. French Premiere at Opera de Lille.
