was adapted as an opera by composer Rachel Portman and librettist Nicholas Wright and given a world premiere at Houston Grand Opera in 2003. The book, of course, is internationally famed and beloved as a children’s classic ever since its publication in 1943, months before his untimely death flying an airplane for Free France. Saint-Exupéry is a French national icon, and his novella went viral before the term existed.
The Pilot learns from the Prince, so when the boy allows the snake to bite him and instantly send him on his way home, the man realizes the message of remembrance, forgiveness and kindness to others. The ending is a joyous hymn of praise to the laughing stars. Maestro Eiki Isomura led the OH orchestra almost as a tribute to Portman’s distinctive writing. The entire place sounded exceptional. Even the typewriter.
The other cast members do what they can to make this as entertaining as it can be, although it’s a rather useless undertaking, but Kiara Caridad performs a lively rap and twerk version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” Kevin Cooney gives his stale dad jokes a certain dash, and Trey Morgan Lewis and Betty Marie Muessig fill in the ensemble.
She’s also not a nice person in this phase of her life. She yells at the homeless man on the property; she didn’t wait for the ambulance to arrive when cowboy Clyde collapsed and died in the snow a few feet away from the building; she yells at her customers, though they yell right back. She needs a lesson, like Scrooge.
