Summer's most beautiful children's show – run and see!

The annual Sommerteatret (Summer Theater) in Oslo's Frognerparken is presenting a magical production of "The Little Prince" this summer. The show, performed by second-year students from the Norwegian Theatre Academy at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, has been lauded as the most beautiful children's performance of the summer.

This year marks the first time in the Sommerteatret's 52-year history that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic tale has been chosen. The production is described as funny, quirky, and luminously beautiful, prompting a recommendation that it should tour the entire country. The Sommerteatret has been a tradition since 1974, providing a beloved offering for children during June and July when the rest of the capital is quieter.

While "The Little Prince" is often categorized as a children's book, the review highlights its profound existential message about human existence and purpose. The performance is seen as a welcome addition to Oslo's summer cultural offerings, especially during a time when many other city institutions are closed for vacation.
