Der Kleine Prinz – Opernhaus, Magdeburg

About this event

Theater Magdeburg presents the world premiere of a new ballet based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, created by ballet director and choreographer Jörg Mannes. Aimed at audiences aged six and up, the production seeks to translate the book’s gentle, philosophical spirit into a vivid dance narrative that speaks to children and adults alike. The score is a curated collage of music by Benjamin Britten, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Sergei Prokofiev, conducted by Julian Gaudiano. Visual storytelling is shaped by set designer Florian Parbs and costume designer Louise Flanagan, with atmospheric video by Philipp Contag-Lada. Each performance is preceded by a short introduction (Einblick) 30 minutes before curtain.
