小城Erl的瓦格纳狂欢节

Wagner Carnival in Erl

我曾在奥地利蒂罗尔州的Erl获得过别具一格的瓦格纳体验，它既不同于拜罗伊特歌剧汇演的庄重肃穆，也与萨尔茨堡复活节音乐节“柏林爱乐制造”的神圣严谨全然迥异。在这个奥地利与德国隔因河相望的小山村里，传统的瓦格纳观念似乎被消解得一干二净，剩下的居然就是怎样在瓦格纳的旗帜下实现“过节”的欢乐，不仅是为了来自世界各地观众的欢乐，Erl及其附近村庄的村民们在丰衣足食的闭塞生活之外，亦要享受德国式的甚至是国际式的狂欢。在我看来，歌剧节的组织者层出不穷的创意，使参与到表演当中的村民所获得的欢乐远远大于不远万里付出不菲费用的外来客人。

A different kind of Wagner celebration takes place in the small town of Erl in Tyrol Austria.It lacks the seriousness of proceedings at he Bayreuth Festspielhaus,it also lacks the sacred atmosphere of the Salzburg Osterfestspiele marked by the Berlin Philarmonic＇s presence.In this town,which is on the border of Austria and Germany,traditional notions of Wagner seem to dissipate with the wind.What is lefte is ＂carnival music＂under the Wagnerian banner.The entrire populace of Erl takes part in this ,which is a truly refreshing experience.
