's Well was brave of me - or rather recklessly - to take the train, which was scheduled to arrive about three quarters of an hour before the performance begins. But he is loose in spite of constitutional ground staring at a variety of display panels of those people with a different destination in fact - at least almost. At the box office then there was also really good student tickets! And then put his success story of my luck to have: my train back is also as good as down time .... Well, ranting again on a train .... ;))

delivered to the performance starts to libretto under the tragic, the comic, the lyric and the hollow heads an exchange of blows in terms of site selection, until finally, with the fairy tale "The Love for Three Oranges" promised by none other than the ridiculous, a compromise was - should come in which everyone's expense. It could go so: (! Phil Heo = great tenor) The Prince a bored teenager in a manga style sits with his superhero friends (I'm unfortunately not so firm in terms of comics, manga, etc., so I up to a Turtle could assign any of the characters) playing computer in his apartment bed and suffers, as the doctors noted, to "hypochondriacal depression." According to its clinical picture is the prince to the world outside of his bed nothing more at. It evaporates into a representation à la World of Warcraft: just this game, the campaign certainly need not be long until it can claim its addicts with a measurable loss in gross national product. In the beginning, everything is always separated harmless and accordingly at the beginning of Inszenierug (Balázs Kovalik) a transparent and transcendence mirror wall that brought me to function and look a little like the Star Gate, first the reality of the game - still. But soon the illusory world is inextricably linked to the now confused: the earlier in the game acting evil witch Fata Morgana is replicated in the fight against good and announces face to face to a cure of the prince to avoid at all costs.

And a cure, there can be only if the values are again Lord condescended to laugh really. As a result, ie a state ceremony will be staged with much fanfare and offered various show elements to provoke a laugh. But this show not just the fact that its designers Truffaldino (Ivan Tursic = a really great singer with a real flair for comedy) has an idea of what humor, wit and laughter ultimately is. The whole thing ends in frustration as all and then turn on the Miss Mirage also it comes to blows, ending in the exposure of her breasts - they there has usually two double the number. This in turn brings the prince to the plan and he laughs himself half dead .... Whether this can stimulate laughter from friends harm a healing process, is now made once there, but the witch curses the prince of revenge to a rather strange passion: he is immortal now expended in the three oranges.

Too bad, that it is in the care of a wicked cook in pink Lackschürzchen (Shavleg Armazi = the opposite of a trouser role, because the good is a steadfast baritone) are located. The former is notoriously famous for their wooden spoon with which she kills troublemakers of hand. But what should we do: moves driven by love of the prince with Truffaldino on a search and they can get hold of the three good pieces indeed. However, those who believe in again shortly tuned for Truffaldino comes over the face of the desert on the way home, a terrible thirst, and he drinks the juice of an orange. With the opening of that seems just a princess, the water required of him. And given the not exactly optimal geographical location even tried to make do themselves by the way and takes her (Be) free nearly tearing down the pants - in order to juice replacement. In view of their despair Truffaldino sacrifices finally a second Orange - in the hope their thirst of equator. But there is a second princess appears with a similar problem. They both die and Truffaldino takes flight. The prince, at first somewhat confused by the two female bodies, but can not deal with uncomfortable questions of meaning and simply removes them summarily. He then makes the mistake of his buddies again. However, he knows how to get ... .. Here are some intrigue, but which can be solved in time and in the end, the two together on his bed.

Conclusion: SUPER! The production was funny, entertaining, and is set on popping effects - without being silly .... I also like Prokofiev - although not always, but somehow very happy and apart from the fact that his opera is not exactly free of racism!
