新版《彼得·格莱姆斯》登台大都会歌剧院

Peter Grimes gets new staging at the Met

饰演彼得·格莱姆斯的男高音歌唱家安东尼-狄安·葛瑞菲（Anthony Deon Griffey）站矿在大都会歌剧院的巨大舞台上，身体微微右倾，遥望着观众席及更远处的“海”。受到全自治市人的谴责，格莱姆斯的精神崩溃了，仿佛被撕成两半。是格莱姆斯无法适应自治市的生活还是确为异类？或许兼而有之。

Each audience member will have to make his own judgment at the Met＇s new production of Britten＇s Peter Grimes, the com- pany＇s first in 41 years. The staging by John Doyle, who directed reinterpretations of Ste- phen Sondheim＇s Sweeney Todd and Company on Broadway, is a driven, intense evening of opera as theater that leaves Grimes＇s essence ambiguous.Wanting to replace Tyrone Guthrie＇s 1967 staging, Which was mounted for John Vickers, the Met originally planned a coproduction with the Salzburg Easter Festival, with director Trevor Nunn. After theft version was mounted in 2005, the Met switched course and hired Doyle, Then the Met parted ways with the original star, Neil Shicoff, and turned to Anthony Dean griffey.
