Synopsis:
The latest release in the Arthaus series of video recordings from the prestigious Opéra National de Paris is a production of Sergei Prokofi evs wonderful surrealist fairy-tale opera The Love for Three Oranges. This is the opera that was played all over the world long before Prokofi evs other mature works became well known. The operas 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.
Carlo Gozzis original 18th Century play Lamore delle tre Melarance uses characters from the Commedia del Arte and incorporates fairy tale elements into the old theatre form to create popular theatre. This mixture attracted Prokofiev as it provided for a spectacle. He looked for stylised characters, pure entertainment, speed, rhythm and power, and he found melodic gestures and instrumental colours to match the characters or visual images. Deflos staging takes up this spirit. His production is pure theatre - his characters employ body language derived from the Commedia dellarte and he uses elements of popular theatre. 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 Prokofievs inventive music.
