The Little Prince is a famous fairytale from French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery, published in 1943.

 

 

It is a story not only for children but also adults, about the legendary life of the little prince from another planet, and the controversy with the beautiful Rose that led him to start his journey. This tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss is brought to life by the Salzburg Marionette Theatre in a poetic and magnificent way, with fantastic stage design by Raimund Orfeo Voigt.
