The Love for Three Oranges by S. Prokofiev, from Aix-en-Provence Festival, performed at Aix-en-Provence Festival, 2004.

A fairytale-like production of Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges, conducted by Tugan Sokhiev and directed by Philippe Calvario, at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2004.

After his successful visit in the United States in 1918, Prokofiev received a commission to compose an opera from the director of the Chicago Opera Association, Cleofonte Campanini. The result of this commission was The Love for Three Oranges, a satirical opera drawing its inspiration from Carlo Gozzi's play published in 1761. It is thanks to the avant-garde stage director, Vsevolod Meyerhold, that Prokofiev discovered Gozzi's work. Inspired by this play in which many plots are intertwined, several fairy characters appear, having all the 'Commedia dell'Arte's' features, Prokofiev composed a spirited musical accompaniment on a libretto written by himself in Russian. The premiere took place at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Illinois, on the 30th of December 1921, in French.

With this production of The Love for Three Oranges at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2004, Philippe Calvario made his début as a stage director. As this video bears witness, the set designs, the costumes and the actors' playing – and especially Andrei Iliouchnikov's performance, give a perfect rendition of this burlesque opera filled with slapstick comedic moments. The young Tugan Sokhiev, a former pupil of Valery Gergiev, conducts here the musicians throughout this frenzied performance.
