Portman, Rachel - The Stars (The Little Prince)

An arrangement of one of the songs from The Little Prince, a fabulous, moving and melodic opera by Rachel Portman with luxurious counter melodies and placid harmonies.

This opera is based on Frenchphilosopherand aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery's novella, Le Petit Prince, an international classic penned in 1943.
It was composed by Rachel Portman, the first woman to win an Oscar for a film score (Emma-1996), with textby NicholasWright.

While Saint-Exupery's moving parable of self-discovery is the foundation of the opera's appeal, it is Portman's music that gives the work its dramatic impact. The characters are brought to life andportrayed with adelicate combination of humour and poignancy.
