《姆钦斯克县的麦克白夫人》登陆香港的震撼

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk's electrifying staging on Hong Kong

用暴力、血腥、情色和禁演作为《姆钦斯克县的麦克白夫人》（Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk）在香港首演的宣传重点，看来是自然之事，但尽管这还是今年香港艺术节的重点节目，但2月27日的首场演出所见，香港文化中心大剧院的中高价座位仍空出不少，这一现象再次证明香港歌剧观众的主流品位仍停留在附庸风雅的浪漫、柔情、高雅、华丽，哪怕大部分大歌剧的结局离不开死亡，

OUTLINE/On February 27, Latvian National Opera brought its own production of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk,which originally premiered in 2006,to Hong Kong. Not only did this production lack in visual appeal,but there wasn't much shock value.The really electrifying sensation of the production was Shostakovich's music.
