La Salle High School Presents The Love of Three Oranges – A Hilarious and Delightful Fairy Tale for All

La Salle High School presents “The Love of Three Oranges” – a hilarious and delightful fairy tale for all! The performance is based on a fairy tale that became a Commedia dell Arte scenario by Carlo Gozzi that then became the basis for a libretto for an opera, known by its French language title L’amour des trois oranges, a satirical opera by Sergei Prokofiev, that then was adapted into a play by Hillary DePiano that was based on the same commedia dell arte scenario based on the original fairy tale….. Confused?

Here’s what is going on, the students have taken on a dynamic project for the fall play, The Love of Three Oranges by Hillary DePiano which is a modernized take on the same story,based on the commedia dell arte scenario by Carlo Gozzi.

While all this is may still be confusing, the fairy tale story is not. There a sickly prince and his father the king, who tries to help make his son happy and healthy, while others evil-doers seek to bring on the downfall of both.

It is full of mischief and mayhem! There will be magic, puppets, and masks, and oranges, three of them! It promises to be fun for all.
