“夏季去法国,冬季来中国”——中法歌剧交流行动进行时

Summer in France,Winter in China:An ongoing Sino-French operatic exchange

法国文学家夏多布里昂曾说过：布列塔尼（Bretagne）是看浪的地方!这块法国北部濒临大西洋的富饶土地向来以巨浪和风景如画闻名。而卡纳克（Camac）是布列塔尼省一个著名的旅游城市,自从2011年以来,这里每年夏季多了一批中国人的身影和歌声。此地有一个闻名遐迩的夏季歌剧节,舞台就搭建在海边一个牡蛎工厂中,每年夏天搬走牡蛎,迎来歌剧。歌剧节除上演著名剧目外,更不断推出短小精悍的作品,并且经常上演不知名的作品。

Since 2011,l'Opera de Poche and the Comic Opera Festival in Beijing have developed an innovative exchange program.This past summer, 22 Chinese singers participated in master classes for singing and dramatic interpretation at l'Opera de Poche International Festival in Carnac. They even presented some public performances,including the French premiere of Chinese contemporary opera Wenji and Donizetti's Don Pasquale in a staging by David Li Wei.In November 2011,a troupe of French singers from l'Opera de Poche flew to Xi'an and Beijing to present the opera Kiki de Montparnasse by Mannucci and The Telephone by Menotti.This coming Christmas,a new round of ten performances including Carmen, The Telephone and a Sino-French co-production of Don Giovanni by l'Opera de Poche will be produced in Beijing and Shanghai.
