Saint-Exupéry’s novella stars Juan Carlos Baglietto as the aviator, and features dazzling images, audiovisual design and a 14-meter-long Ultra HD screen.
Twenty years after having starred in “The Little Prince,” Juan Carlos Baglietto returned to the classic Saint-Exupéry as an ideologue along with his two sons, while the legendary musician this time puts himself in the shoes of the Aviator, his son Joaquin (who played him in the series “Love After Love”) plays the businessman and his son Julian (member of the band Baglietto Vitale for years) is in charge of musical direction. This show directed by Eduardo Gondellthe same person responsible for the previous version, placed emphasis on the technological paraphernalia and some elements that update the classic, without losing its poetry.
The show begins with a voice-over story that introduces the story with beautiful images projected on an imposing 14-meter-long Ultra HD LED screen, never before mounted for a show at the Opera. From the first minute it is understood that the audiovisual will have its own weight and that the dazzling drawings and images will not let up until the end. The audiovisual design is one of the best of the show, by Juan Manuel Ripariwhile the scenography of Mariano Maldini and the wardrobe Alejandra Robotti They provide art and beauty in an amazing staging.

The voices of Baglietto and Florencia Otero like the snake they are the best in terms of performances, placing them above the rest, all with their moment of brilliance. The rapper Zaina He stars in a kind of cockfight or freestyle battle to embody the Vain Man, who was reinvented as an influencer surrounded by LED rings and cell phones, perhaps a nod to the younger generations.

The Little Prince is played by the newcomer Luis Rodríguez Echeverríain a protagonist that resolves with correct solvency, Valentina Podium plays the Flower, while the moments of moderate humor arrive with Carlos March like the Drinker and Roberto Catarineu like the fox. Walas, the leader of Massacre, embodies the King, leading subjects who obey like machines.

The Little Prince is a high-impact bet, with a music legend like him Baglietto and a story that values the wonder of nature, asks questions that today more than ever seem to be swallowed up by screens and networks as it returns to feelings and that which becomes invisible to the eyes.
