"Please... draw me a sheep..." "The Little Prince," the most philosophical of children's tales, has not aged a day since its publication in 1943. "The Orchestra for Children" illustrates Saint-Exupéry's text in a suggestive manner, alternating the music by Dirk Brossé with the original text, in a poetic and ingenious staging by Emmanuel Guillaume.
