The great Russian composer, Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev, wrote the satirical opera “The Love for Three Oranges” when he was only 28 years-old on a commission for Chicago’s Opera Association. It’s premier performance was on December 30th, 1921, in the newly-built Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. The opera is a milestone for modern orchestral music and is considered pivotal when it comes to understanding modern opera. Created during the composer’s early career, it has radically changed how the art of modern music is considered and created. Loved the world over for its honesty, simplicity, humour and soulfulness, it has brought its creator everlasting fame. Including the work into the repertoire of Zagreb’s Opera, after 46 years, is going to bring a fresh view to the piece that shaped orchestral art and the world of modern theatre as we know it today.
