北京国际音乐节变身歌剧狂欢节——18天9部歌剧6部首演创国内演出史之最

6 premieres mark a record-Beijing Music Festival presented a veritable opera carnival

第11届北京国际音乐节，为美丽金秋增添文化胜景。18天16场演出中，有9部中外歌剧6部国内首演，郭文景“巾帼英雄三部曲”《花木兰》、《穆桂英》、《梁红玉》，瓦格纳《汤豪舍》，理查·施特劳斯《玫瑰骑士》，普契尼《三联剧》——《外套》、《修女安杰丽卡》、《贾尼·斯基基》，亨利·帕塞尔《狄朵与埃涅阿斯》。10月2日开幕式、10月19日闭幕式，同10月9日《歌剧名段荟萃》GALA一样，全部为精选经典歌剧的音乐、咏叹调、重唱、片段，如果算上《纪念伯恩斯坦》专场和亨德尔清唱剧《弥赛亚》，只有3场和歌剧属远关系的音乐会。

The 11^(th) Beijing Mu- sic Festival added tremendous glitz to the capital's cultural life. Within the span of 18 days there were a total of 16 performances, out of which 9 centered on opera. In to- tal, there were 6 China premieres! Quality and quantity were two dis- tinguishing features of this year's Beijing Music Festival. These are all testaments to the artistic vision and confidence of Festival organizers.
