The Love for Three Oranges

English

Approved

Written by the thirty-year-old Prokofiev, “Love for Three Oranges” is a metaphor for love for the theater and the carnival underside of the world, for the impossibility of living outside the game. Having chosen the plot of the commedia dell'arte, the composer composed an opera about the opera, its miracles, clichés and absurdities, kind to the audience and to himself. To debunk the operatic "untruth of life" by its own means turned out to be the best way to sing this untruth. Recently, the audience could see a semi-stage performance of "Love for Three Oranges" in the Concert Hall, but now the theater is returning to the full-scale performance of Alexander Petrov and Vyacheslav Okunev in 1991. The updated version will feature several generations of Mariinsky singers: magicians, sorceresses and kings who ascended the throne back in the 1990s, carnival heroes who made the audience laugh in the 2000s, and new soloists appearing for the first time as courtiers,

Написанная тридцатилетним Прокофьевым «Любовь к трем апельсинам» – метафора любви к театру и карнавальной изнанке мира, к невозможности жить вне игры. Избрав сюжет комедии дель арте, композитор сочинил оперу об опере, ее чудесах, штампах и нелепостях, любезных зрителям и ему самому. Развенчать оперную «неправду жизни» ее же средствами оказалось лучшим способом эту неправду воспеть. В последнее время публика могла видеть полусценическое исполнение «Любви к трем апельсинам» в Концертном зале, но сейчас театр возвращается к полномасштабному спектаклю Александра Петрова и Вячеслава Окунева 1991 года. В обновленной версии можно будет услышать несколько поколений мариинских певцов: магов, волшебниц и королей, что взошли на трон еще в 1990-х, карнавальных героев, смешивших публику в 2000-х, и новых солистов, впервые выходящих в партиях придворных, принцев и принцесс.
