新版《魔笛》为英国巡演歌剧团30周年揭幕

English Touring Opera opened its 30th anniversary year with a new production of The Magic Flute

要创排一出真正成功的《魔笛》，就需要面对这部作品在本质上的多样性，即同时关注它的谐趣和在道德上的严肃性。《魔笛》这部歌剧无论在戏剧情境还是音乐戏剧风格上都显示了很大的跨度。但它也不是无可挑剔的。比如，作品中提到的共济会方面的内容和今天的观众能有多少联系？如果没有明晰的共济会背景，

For a production of The Magic Flute to really succeed it needs to address the work's multifarious nature,capturing both its moral seriousness and its fun,and encompassing a great range both in terms of dramatic situation and music -dramatic styles.English Touring Opera opened its 30th anniversary year with a new production of The Magic Flute,directed by Liam Steel. This used Jeremy Sams' English version of the libretto,which tidied things up somewhat.
