Prokofiev’s fairytale opera The Love for Three Oranges, about a prince cursed to fall for a trio of oranges, is both comic and grotesque thanks to the composer’s blend of biting harmonies, driving rhythms and tender lyricism. If anything, the music from Prokofiev’s earlier opera Chout (The Buffoon) is even more savage and satirical. You can hear the distilled brilliance of both operas in these masterful suites.
LSO Principal Guest Conductor Gianandrea Noseda, a renowned conductor of Russian music leads the LSO through Prokofiev's witty programme.
Produced by the London Symphony Orchestra.
