Opera by Sergei Prokofiev / libretto by the composer and Vera Janacópulos based on Vsevolod Meyerhold's adaptation of a play by Carlo Gozzi / German text by Werner Hintze / reduced orchestration by Philipp Haag
/ in German with German surtitles

The king is in despair because his son has an incurable illness: he cannot laugh. Everything is tried to bring joy back into his life. A mishap by the evil sorceress Fata Morgana, of all people, finally makes the prince laugh his heart out - and brings him a curse. He is to fall in love with three oranges, each containing a princess. All kinds of strange, magical, absurd - and of course comical - things await the prince on his journey. Sergei Prokofiev's brilliant and lively music unfolds a colorful entertainment spectacle that combines fairy tales with satire and subtle humor.
