The Love for Three Oranges: Deutsche Oper Berlin

About the Event

This season at the Deutsche Oper Berlin features Canadian director Robert Carsen's interpretation of Prokofiev's 'The Love for Three Oranges', a work which combines tragedy with comedy, poetry with the grotesque, and fairytale with satire to produce a grandiose piece of theatre that has wowed audiences around the world since its premiere in 1921.

This story of a lovelorn prince has become the most beloved of Prokofiev's operas not only due to its quirky and spirited music but also due to the interpretive freedom provided by his rich, visual world with its cast of magicians, fairies, and card‐playing queens.
