歌剧中的“新瓶装旧酒”

Operatic "old wine in new bottles"

歌剧是舞台艺术的“集大成者”，它包容了戏剧、声乐、器乐、舞美、表演、舞蹈、服饰等诸多元素。当然，音乐在其中是占主导地位的“主心骨”。一部歌剧能否流芳百世，主要取决于作曲家谱写的音乐。

OUTLINE/Modern opera directors are often inclined to use'new bottles'to store'old wine.'In other words,they use new directional concepts on well-known classics, giving them a new lease of life. Clearly,not all'new bottles'are appropriate. It all depends on whether the libretto and musical score allow for such room to explore and discover. Some operas based on realism amd historical figures do not lend themselves to new interpretations.
