The Happy Prince: A Musical Recitation with Maria & Cecilia Henderson

The Happy Prince by Liza Lehmann is a dramatic recitation for speaker and piano based on the short story by Oscar Wilde. 'The Happy Prince' tells the story of a prince who was made into a golden statue after he died. In life, he lived a sheltered, happy life, but in death he saw all the suffering throughout his city. He befriends a swallow who has been separated from his flock and, together, they help the poor of the city. The story is beautiful, but the ending is bittersweet.
