The creative team of the musical 'The Little Prince,' produced by New Opera, emphasizes the scarcity of quality performances aimed at children in Lithuania. They are set to tour the country, showcasing their work at major venues, with a notable performance planned at Kaunas' Žalgiris Arena in September, a space where family-focused musical productions remain rare.

The musical's author and composer, Jonas Sakalauskas, explains that the motivation behind creating the show was to design a performance that resonates with audiences of different ages. He highlights the importance of genuine storytelling in engaging children, noting that young audiences can easily identify between mere decorative actions and meaningful narratives. The team aimed to craft a show that communicates serious themes while preserving the enchanting essence of a fairy tale.

Sakalas Uždavinys, a renowned actor portraying the pilot character, stresses that 'The Little Prince' encourages families to come together, see themselves in the characters, and remember the significance of sensitivity, imagination, and interpersonal connections. This musical thus not only entertains but also seeks to foster a deeper understanding of human emotions and relationships among the audience, making it a timely addition to Lithuanian theater.
