英国青年歌剧团以罗西尼的双剧连演拉开秋季演出季序幕

British Youth Opera opened fall season with a double bill of Rossini operas

当罗西尼只有18岁的时候，他创作了独幕歌剧《结婚证书》。对于一个如此年轻的作曲家而言，这部作品真的太棒了!多数人熟悉他的歌剧《布鲁斯基诺先生》和《软梯》中的序曲，但完整版的歌剧却很少有人看过。英国青年歌剧团选择以双联剧的形式，于2009年9月4日晚，在伦敦孔雀剧院演出这两部歌剧，拉开了该歌剧院秋季演出季的序幕。这两部歌剧有其各不相同、相互独立的演员阵容，而且每部歌剧都备有两套演员阵容（在本轮演出的最后一场，由替补演员出演）。这也是给年轻歌手以展现才华的最大机会。

OUTLINE / Most people are familiar with the overtures to Il Signor Bruschino and La Scala di Seta,but the complete operas are so rarely done.On September 4,to open their fall season at London's Peacock Theatre,British Youth Opera presented them in a double bill.Each opera was cast separately and both were double cast(the final performances of the run being sung by the understudies),which gave the maximum possible exposure to the young singers.
