Portman and Wright’s timeless tale The Little Prince, based on the beloved book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a moving exploration of innocence, friendship, and the importance of seeing with the heart. Originally produced by Pacific Opera Victoria, the production is celebrated for its artistic beauty and emotional warmth, with critics calling it “an absolute delight” (Opera Canada) and “a glorious way to find the joys of opera in its most playful mood” (British Theatre Guide). The production features the Glimmerglass Youth Chorus — an ensemble of 8- to 18-year-olds selected competitively from across Central New York.
