Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince, probably the most loved of all the books written in French over the past century, is turning 75 this year. To celebrate, Double Confirm Productions and Sight Lines Entertainment present a musical adaptation of the award-winning novel, composed by French pianist & composer Thierry Huillet.
Passages of the timeless text of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, narrated by Hossan Leong, are intimately woven with the music performed by the Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Chan Wei Shing. This will mark the Asian premiere of the full orchestral work, with Huillet himself coming to town to perform with the orchestra. The musical is presented in memory of Maestro Adrian Tan, who kickstarted the production but died unexpectedly in July of cardiac arrest.
Working alongside Double Confirm productions and Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra is Sight Lines Entertainment, the brilliant minds behind the use of hologram technology. In fact, this will be the first time it's used in a theatrical musical production in Singapore.
So buckle up and sit back for this enjoyable musical journey. The musical extravaganza is the gala opening programme of the vOilah! France Singapore Festival 2021 and is showing for two days only – so get your tickets before they run out.
