The Love for Three Oranges, Op. 33, also known by its French language title L`amour des trois oranges (Russian: Любовь к трём апельсинам, Lyubov` k tryom apel`sinam), is a satirical opera by Sergei Prokofiev. Its French libretto was based on the Italian play L`amore delle tre melarance by Carlo Gozzi. The opera premiered at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, on 30 December 1921. The original Italian and French titles actually mean The love of the Three Oranges, which makes the word for in the English version of the title a slight corruption or mistranslation.


The opera was the result of a commission during Prokofiev`s successful first visit to the United States in 1918. After well-received concerts of his works in Chicago (including his First Symphony), Prokofiev was approached by the director of the Chicago Opera Association, Cleofonte Campanini, to write an opera. Conveniently, Prokofiev had drafted a libretto during his trip to the US; he had based it on Carlo Gozzi`s play in the Commedia dell`arte tradition, (which was itself based on Giambattista Basile`s fairy tale `The Love for Three Oranges`). The eventual libretto was adapted by Prokofiev from Vsevolod Meyerhold`s translation of Gozzi`s play. The adaptation modernized some of the Commedia dell`arte influences and also introduced a dose of Surrealism. Due to Prokofiev`s own scanty knowledge of English, and as Russian would have been unacceptable to American audiences, the initial version was set in French, with the possible assistance of the soprano Vera Janacopoulos, as L`Amour des trois oranges
