Bartók’s other legendary ballet composition generally goes hand in hand with The Miraculous Mandarin. The story and the message of The Wooden Prince is just as valid in our valueless 21st century society. The Wooden Prince teaches a folk wisdom about true values and inner beauty. The seemingly naive tale of the Prince and the Princess deals with an eternal topic of humankind. Perfomed in one evening, the two Bartóks offer an elevating experience for adult audiences.
