A poetic evening that subtly enchants Munich
At Hofspielhaus, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's world classic meets an intimate stage format that seeks proximity rather than distance. On Saturday, May 16, 2026, The Little Prince will be performed as a production featuring Michael A. Grimm and Isabel Kott. The performance starts at 8:00 PM, lasts about two hours with an intermission, and unfolds that blend of fairy tale, fable, and philosophical theater that has been beloved for decades.

When memory becomes dramatic movement
The Hofspielhaus version focuses on an encounter: A man is stranded at an airport, daily life breaks apart, and the memory of the Little Prince returns as a living force. This results in a sensitive stage experience that explores rather than illustrates. Direction and design are by Christiane Brammer and Veronika Eckbauer, with the stage design by Thomas Bruner and music by Stephan Reiser. Thus, a production is formed that does not quote the famous dictum of seeing with the heart but rather charges it scenically. ([hofspielhaus.de](https://www.hofspielhaus.de/der-kleine-prinz/))
A classic that resonates with quiet power
Saint-Exupéry's narrative remains a touchstone for any stage adaptation: a work about friendship, responsibility, love, and the painful insight that what is essential is invisible. CANTUS Verlag describes the material as a timeless fairy tale about the big questions of life; at the same time, the synopsis shows the familiar stations from the little planet to the rose to the encounters with the fox and the snake. It is precisely in this that the dramatic power of this evening lies: it leads to the poetic surface and opens a space for melancholy, wonder, and realization beneath it.

The Hofspielhaus as an intimate resonance space
The Hofspielhaus is located at Falkenturmstraße 8, 80331 Munich, centrally in the Altstadt-Lehel, and is considered a versatile indoor location with a theater area and bar. The official performance schedule states that doors open one hour before the start; according to event data and house information, an intermission is planned for the evening. The theater atmosphere benefits from the compact layout of the house, which favors proximity to the performance and immediate audience reaction.
