Die Liebe zu den drei OrangenThe Love For Three Oranges22 June 2016– 09 July 2016

Eye-popping costumes, physical comedy and sets of acid colour combine in an opera that never takes itself too seriously.

Take a melancholy prince, a cantankerous witch and the curse of a love strange and strong: an unquenchable passion of unusual fashion for not just one orange, but three! Add an infectious march, some fantastical farce and a kingdom of curious characters, and you have Prokofiev's surreal, screwball fairytale for adults.

This Russian gem is juicy, sweet and a trifle acerbic, just like the proverbial oranges.

Eye-popping costumes, physical comedy and sets of acid colour combine with the composer's bright melodies in an opera that never takes itself too seriously.  Performed in English, in a translation by Tom Stoppard, with surtitles.
