《波希米亚人》归来!——戴口罩与否自选

Bohème is back!(Masks optional)

最近,有个问题令我伤透脑筋。导演亚历克斯·奥莱(Alex Ollé)在悉尼歌剧院把威尔第的《假面舞会》重构为一个犹如乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)创作的反乌托邦式的噩梦而获得巨大成功。他更在东京新国立剧场把普契尼的《图兰朵》改头换面,注入卡夫卡式《城堡》的氛围,更添上埃舍尔(M.C.Escher)的视觉效果,令故事升华,讥诮权力斗争的意味更浓。

Here’s something that’s been bothering me lately:If director Alex Ollécould turn Verdi’s Masked Ball into a dystopic Orwellian nightmare at the Sydney Opera House,and render Puccini’s Turandot as a cynical power play in Kafka’s Castle at the New National Theater in Tokyo.
