Ozarks Lyric Opera Presents: The Little Prince 4/11/25
THE LITTLE PRINCEmusic byRachel Portmanlibretto byNicholas Wright Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman’s The Little Prince, based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le petit Prince, is an imaginative, melodic setting of the bond of a Little Prince from a neighboring asteroid and a Pilot whose plane has crash-landed in the desert. The two fight against time to learn about beauty, friendship, loss, and healing as they travel together and meet colorful, often puzzling, characters. An opera for all ages, this sonorous score with its fun, vivid encounters lifts the Prince, the Pilot, and the audience toward discovery—toward heartfelt ways of seeing and loving. Experience a beloved story through music, as we create a night of adventure and wonder the entire family will enjoy. *First three rows in the orchestra are removed for staging effects.

Ozarks Lyric Opera brings Beethoven’s only opera to the historic Gillioz stage for the very first time. Starring internationally-acclaimed tenor, Ric Furman, this masterful “rescue opera” tells the redemptive story of a woman’s heroic journey to save her husband from prison after being wrongfully detained by a political rival. This Springfield-area Premiere features the famous “Prisoner’s Chorus” and Beethoven’s typical lush, passionate music which was written at a time when he was experiencing his own Deafness and is now seen as a daring, Romantic Period tale of the composer’s own triumph over oppression.
