Yes, I love the theme (which has just become today’s earworm). The Fiery Angel is wonderful, but it’s much more dark and intense, musically and thematically. I haven’t listened to it lately. I should.

I forgot to follow up on this! I’m unfamiliar with “Fiery Angel,” sadly. What’s I love about “Love for Three Oranges,” is how utterly memorable the theme is.

I've seen War and Peace and The Fiery Angel (Огненный ангел) performed, but not The Love For Three Oranges. A couple of months ago the Seattle Symphony performed the score to Alexander Nevsky live with the film, which was spectacular.

The music is wonderfully terrifying and barbaric. I love Prokoviev, and Love of Three Oranges in particular. I’ve never seen the opera, though!
