Care for some vitamins? With The Love of Three Oranges, Sergei Prokofiev signed a brilliant score, a jubilant and zany farce, combining humour, derision and lyricism.
Inspired by a play by Carlo Gozzi, the libretto revisits the commedia dell'arte. In the kingdom of playing cards, a neurasthenic prince is dying because he can no longer laugh. While some seek to cure him, others plot to take power. On a quest for three oranges, the Prince falls in love with Ninette, a princess discovered under the skin of the magic fruit. After many far-fetched adventures, the opera ends with an inevitably happy ending!
Alongside a cast with outstanding vocal and stage abilities, Marie Jacquot will conduct this lively and spirited work. Anna Bernreitner will be directing, together with her partners from the Oper rund um ensemble. The enthusiasm and fantasy of the young Austrian team are a perfect match for Prokofiev's work.
