[lang_ie]D’fhógair Seirbhísí Cultúrtha Chomhairle Chontae Dhún na nGall choimisiún i 2011 le hathchóiriú ar an scéal ó Oscar Wilde – An Prionsa Sona – ionas go mbeadh an úsáid is fearr cruthaitheach le ceol, seanchas, léiriú ón taobh seo tíre – ó Dhún na nGall. D’obair Little John Nee (an scríbhneoir, aisteoir, scéalaí agus ceoltóir clúiteach) i gcomhair leis an chumadóir Vincent Kennedy leis an méid téacs a bhí ann cheana féin agus rinneadh athscríobh do cheolfhoirne anseo i nDún na nGall ar an scéal iontach seo atá chomh hábhartha inniu agus mar a bhí nuair a foilsíodh den chéad uair sna 1880í. Tá an píosa mar thoradh ar a gcuid obair go hiontach le ceol amharclainne scríofa agus léirithe do ghrúpaí faoin Chomhpháirtíocht Oideachais Ceoil Dhún na nGall.
Bhí na bunléirithe stáitse in Amharclann an Ghrianáin, Leitir Ceanainn agus Lárionad na Mainistreach, Béal Átha Seanaidh le linn mí Aibreán 2012. Léirithe ag Little John Nee, an Cheolfhoireann Óige Dhún na nGall agus Cór na nÓg Dhún na nGall faoi stiúradh Raymond Keane ó Amharclann Barabbas agus Vincent Kennedy agus an dearadh soilse le Niall Cranney ó Amharclann an Ghrianáin.
Anois le tacaíocht ón Raidió Náisiúnta (RTEjr) tá An Prionsa Sona a thabhairt fhad le lucht éisteachta níos leithne tríd an chraoladh beo ar an Aoine seo, 18 Bealtaine BEO ó Stiúideo 1 i RTÉ, Baile Átha Cliath 4 ag tosú ag a 2.00 i.n.

[lang_en-uk]Donegal County Council Cultural Services set a commission in 2011 for a new adaptation of the Oscar Wilde story The Happy Prince in a way that made best use of our creative strengths in Donegal, which include music, storytelling and performance.
Working from the existing text, writer, actor, storyteller and musician Little John Nee and composer Vincent Kennedy were commissioned to write and perform an orchestral / narrated Donegal adaptation of this wonderful story that is as relevant today as it was when first published in the 1880’s. The resulting work is an exquisite and beautiful piece of music theatre especially written to be performed by the Donegal VEC Music Education Partnership’s performing groups.The original stage performances took place in An Grianán Theatre, Letterkenny and The Abbey Centre, Ballyshannon during April this year. Performed by Little John Nee, the Donegal Youth Orchestra and Donegal Youth Choir, these performances were directed by Raymond Keane (Barabbas Theatre Company), conducted by Vincent Kennedy with lighting designed by Niall Cranney (An Grianán Theatre). Now with the support of RTEjr Radio, The Happy Prince is being brought to a much wider audience through this broadcast at 2pm on Friday 18th May that goes out LIVE from RTÉ Studio 1 in Dublin. We invite you to join us on this last chance to listen and enjoy this magical journey that is suitable for all the family and lasts approx. 50 minutes in duration.
School Education Pack also available.
