We invite you to spend your first Christmas holiday with us in the dreamlike world of the little prince. The surreal tale of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry inspired millions of readers worldwide and is considered a manifesto of moral thinking, which criticizes the decline in value of modern society. "One only sees well with the heart" - is not only one of the most famous quotes of the story, but also the guiding thought of this evening. Joel Basman, LOLA Laureate 2015 will be live for his role in "We are young. We are strong ", read from the main work Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, while original illustrations of the author are projected onto a screen and the renowned chamber orchestra BACH will paint this musically, with various pieces by the French composers Camille Sant-Saёns, Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy. So join us for French romanticism with Sant-Saёn's program "Carnival of Animals", French Impressionism with Ravel's Boléro and finally Debussy's very own musical language in Clair de lune. While the little prince flies into the Sahara and from asteroid to asteroid. Visit our unique Christmas program to see, hear and feel. We wish you a Merry Christmas!
