Le Petit Prince Sur La Glace (tournée)

Le Petit Prince sur la glace at L'Amphithéâtre 3000

At L'Amphithéâtre 3000, we are delighted to welcome the touring spectacle Le Petit Prince sur la glace, a luminous encounter between poetic literature and athletic artistry. Hosting this production in Lyon carries a special resonance, as the city is inextricably linked to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose timeless tale inspires the show’s visual and emotional landscape. From our vantage point as a venue, we have prepared for a performance that transforms our stage into a shimmering expanse, with a temporary ice surface engineered to meet the demands of precision skating, elegant lifts, and ensemble choreography. The design of our auditorium—clear sightlines, generous rake, and refined acoustics—supports the sweep of the musical score and the subtle textures of narration and sound design, allowing families, first-time visitors, and dedicated dance and skating aficionados to immerse themselves in the storytelling. We look forward to the moment the lights dim and the stars of the production trace their constellations across the ice, inviting audiences to experience wonder in real time.

What unfolds on our stage

From the perspective of L'Amphithéâtre 3000, Le Petit Prince sur la glace promises a series of vivid tableau that flow with cinematic grace: the Aviator’s wide horizon, the Rose’s delicate presence, the taming of the Fox, and the mysterious allure of distant planets. On our expansive stage, the choreography can breathe—group numbers ripple outward like galaxies while intimate duets draw the focus down to a single, quivering edge. Expect crystalline footwork, daring rotational lifts, and tight unison passages that catch the light in prisms, framed by scenography that evokes sand dunes, asteroids, and starfields. Lighting will chart an emotional arc—from dusky desert blues to auroral golds—while projections and costumes amplify the poetry of movement. For families, this is a rare opportunity to watch a beloved story spoken in the language of blades and breath; for lovers of performance, it is a carefully crafted convergence of dance, theater, and athletic precision. Our technical teams have collaborated closely with the production to tailor the ice footprint, cueing, and sound coverage to our hall’s contours, ensuring that the show’s most delicate gestures reach the furthest seat with clarity and warmth.

As a venue, we also keep a keen eye on the artistic momentum behind Le Petit Prince sur la glace as it continues its tournée. The company’s touring edition showcases a polished ensemble and an evolving visual grammar—new palettes in the lighting, refined musical transitions, and a sensitivity to scale that allows the piece to bloom in large-capacity rooms like ours. Throughout the season, the creative team has emphasized emotional readability and narrative clarity, qualities that resonate with our audiences in Lyon who cherish both technical excellence and heartfelt storytelling. The production’s rhythms—playful, poignant, then exhilarating—fit beautifully with L'Amphithéâtre 3000’s strengths: a broad stage to accommodate sweeping formations, a ceiling height that welcomes sculptural lifts, and a sound system that carries intimate motifs as confidently as symphonic swells. We are proud to provide a setting in which the ephemeral can feel tangible: where a skate’s edge etches a memory, where a child’s question becomes choreography, and where Saint-Exupéry’s vision finds new life on ice before a multigenerational audience. From first arrival to the final curtain, our staff, stage crews, and hospitality teams are committed to shaping an experience that honors the grace of the performers and the curiosity of every spectator.
