户外歌剧演出:新冠疫情反击战

“No,Al Fresco is not a new tenor”:Open-air opera makes a Covid comeback

有时候,伟大的想法往往生不逢时。10年前,纽约市立歌剧院倒闭前的最后一位总监乔治·斯提尔(George Steel)沦为众矢之的,因为他为了节省经费,把心一横,决定让歌剧院从多年常驻的林肯中心搬离。后来,埃里克·爱因霍恩(Eric Einhorn)和杰西卡·克里格(Jessica Kriger)建立现场歌剧团(On Site Opera)的方针,也套用了同样的"游牧"演出方式——每一部制作上演时,都会选用城里比较独特的、但适合作品主题的不同场地。

Sometimes great ideas simply come at the wrong time.Ten years ago,people derided George Steel,the final managing director of New York City Opera before its demise,when he moved the company from its longtime home at Lincoln Center.Since then,Eric Einhorn and Jessica Kriger formed On Site Opera essentially using the same nomadic model,matching each production to a different venue.
