Three Loves for Three Oranges
2021
Overview
In 1921, Sergei Prokofiev's Love
for Three Oranges -one of the earliest, most
famous examples of modernist opera-premiered in Chicago.
Prokofiev's source was a 1913 theatrical divertissement by Vsevolod
Meyerhold, who, in turn, took inspiration from Carlo Gozzi's 1761
commedia dell'arte -
infused theatrical fairy tale. Only by examining these
whimsical, provocative works together can we understand the full
significance of their intertwined lineage. With
contributions from 17 distinguished scholars in theater, art
history, Italian, Slavic studies, and musicology, Three Loves for
Three Oranges: Gozzi, Meyerhold, Prokofiev illuminates the
historical development of Modernism in the arts, the ways in which
commedia dell'arte's self-referential and improvisatory elements
have inspired theater and music innovations, and how polemical
playfulness informs creation. A resource for scholars and theater
lovers alike, this collection of essays, paired with new
translations of Love for Three Oranges, charts the transformations
and transpositions that this fantastical tale underwent to provoke
theatrical revolutions that still reverberate today.
