The Production
Over
25,000 children applied online and thousands turned up at open auditions
to take part in the BBC Talent's search for for the lead roles of
Rose and the Prince and the chorus. To train for the production the
children joined the BBC Talent's residential summer school at Sadlers
Wells in London to learn their roles and receive expert
vocal training and development, movement and dance skills and theatrical
and film techniques from the best in the business. The
film production of The Little Prince, which
will feature the UKs favorite soprano Lesley Garret,
is due to air in the autumn on BBC TWO.
