Wednesday, April 6, 8 p.m., WHA (PBS) -- The Little Prince. Airing as part of PBS' Great Performances series, the production could scarcely be better: colorful, imaginatively staged and shot, and with a just-about-perfect cast. Best of all - unusual for a contemporary opera - the score is quite accessible and the English lyrics mostly comprehensible once the ear adjusts. Under a parent's guidance this could be ideal family viewing. This is a special event, well worth your time.

Mike Wodyn
Title: "Ideas on a Plane - Paintings About Paint"
Reception: April 6, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 6 p.m.
"When I begin a painting, it is not my intention to create the illusion of something on the canvas, such as a figure or landscape. Instead, the painting itself is the object, and the colors, textures and shapes created by paint on the canvas are the subject matter. Much like a carpenter who doesn't try to disguise the fact that he works with wood, I am not trying to hide the fact that what I am presenting is paint on canvas."
