The Little Prince at Celebrazioni: a Night of Magic Between Stars and Reality

On Friday, March 6, 2026 the Teatro Celebrazioni in Bologna presented a new production of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. The staging, directed and adapted by Stefano Genovese, favored a storytelling approach that blends text, imagery and sensory elements to immerse the audience in the tale's suspended universe.

The production emphasized the book's central themes — remembering childhood, valuing imagination and critiquing adult attitudes — supported by contemporary sets and visual solutions designed to engage viewers of all ages.

• Director and adaptor: Stefano Genovese
• Lead actor: Nicholas Ori (9 years old)
• Venue: Teatro Celebrazioni, Bologna
• Performance date: March 6, 2026

Young Nicholas Ori's interpretation was highlighted as the emotional core of the show: his stage presence helped balance the production between fable and reflection, making the work's universal messages accessible through a direct scenic language. The evening reaffirmed the Celebrazioni's role as an active cultural venue in the city and demonstrated theatre's ability to renew classics without betraying their essence.
