L'amour des trois oranges, Op. 33, is a satirical French-language opera by Sergei Prokofiev. He wrote his own libretto, basing it on the Italian play L'amore delle tre melarance, or The Love for Three Oranges (Russian: Любовь к трём апельсинам), by Carlo Gozzi, and conducted the premiere, which took place at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on 30 December 1921.
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.
Sylvain Cambreling conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Opera National de Paris in this live performance of Prokofiev's opera from 2005. Features performances by Charles Workman, José van Dam, and Philippe Rouillon. "The colourful reading is exciting by Franz Welser-Möst, who with love for detail and courage to contrasts highlights the strengths of the piece. At of the stage is dominated by Christoph Strehl and Jonas Kaufmann as radiantly lyrical tenors.
