Love, Loss and Three Oranges

Available for 5 days

Kate Molleson follows Prokofiev through a chapter of bold plans and bittersweet turns. From the seed of an opera planted on a Pacific crossing to the glittering premiere of The Love of Three Oranges, this is a story of ambition, eccentricity, and unexpected romance. Along the way, Prokofiev pens music full of colour and character – and discovers that even fairytales can come at a price… Visions fugitives, Op. 22: XIX.
