More Details on Prokofiev - L’Amour des Trois Oranges

“[This production is] spectacular and expensive-looking, glossy and glacial……. American Charles Workman's Pierrot Prince is a triumph of diction and style [and] it is good to hear Sylvain Cambreling balancing exuberance (the famous March) with the diaphanous subtlety of a marvellous score heavily influenced by Rimsky-Korsakov.” The Financial Times

The latest release in the rich TDK series of DVD recordings from the prestigious Opéra National de Paris is a production of Sergei Prokofiev’s wonderful surrealist fairy-tale opera The Love for Three Oranges.

This is the opera that was played all over the world long before Prokofiev’s other mature works became well known. The opera’s fantastic story is particularly well loved, and the famous march, which exists in many arrangements and has been widely used as a symphonic concert piece.

Staged in the large Opéra Bastille, it is a colourful theatrical feast, directed by Gilbert Deflo. Conducted by 20th-century specialist Sylvain Cambreling and sung in the original French version by superb singer-actors, this production presents a stage performance set in perfect harmony with Prokofiev’s inventive music.
