波士顿抒情歌剧院倾情演绎《水仙女》

Dvorak's lyric fairy tale Rusalka is brought to life by the Boston Lyric Opera

提及作曲家安托宁·德沃夏克，几乎很少会有人想到他的歌剧。这位捷克民族音乐大师主要以斯拉夫民族舞曲、交响乐和华美的大提琴协奏曲为世人所知晓，但实际上德沃夏克写的歌剧比他写的交响乐还要多。而《水仙女》，这部3月正在舒伯特剧院由波士顿抒情歌剧院倾情演出的歌剧，也是德翁所有十部歌剧中最不晦涩、较清晰易懂的一部。

The debate about Rusalka has long centered on whether it is an opera with enough dramatic momentum to effectively hold the stage or more of a static collection of lyrical tableaux.In Eric Simonson's production,it feels like both,depending on the act.Despite the heavy use of stage projections to set the various wooded or watery scenes,a portion of the mysterious allure and dark sensuality of Dvorak's opera remains out of reach.But the new staging has many visually compelling moments and serves the spirit of the music clearly and faithfully.
