The Love for Three Oranges
О событии
Sergei Prokofiev himself described his opera as a "mixture of fairy tale, amusement and satire". This season, the Vienna Volksoper is presenting Ernst Theo Richter's successful Hamburg production from 2002.
The Prince has fallen victim to a serious case of hypochondria, and only laughter can save him. Taking pleasure at somebody else's misfortune cures him, but also puts a curse on him, making him fall in love with three oranges. One of the fruits is embodied by Ninetta, whom he ultimately marries.
Enjoy this funny and bizarre opera at the Volksoper Vienna.
