San Francisco Opera Presents The Little Prince

Bring the whole family to this sweet and wondrous opera, The Little Prince. Cal Performances and San Francisco Opera team up to bring you a beloved classic of children's literature May 2- May 11, 2008. Sung in English, this fable by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is about a pilot who crash-lands in the desert and meets an open hearted boy from another planet. This opera offers a valuable lesson for the family: a gentle reminder to hold on to what is truly important in life.
