直抵人心的咏叹——评原创民族歌剧《运河谣》

Arias straight from the heart:On the original folk opera The Canal Ballad

近两年。由于有多部原创歌剧作品在中国歌剧舞台上推出，故有些媒体欣喜地称之为歌剧繁荣的“井喷现象”!不过业界仍有人冷静地认为，这种表象的繁荣，只是歌剧界的“窝里热”，其原因是很难见到能够被文化界乃至全社会普遍认同喝彩的精品原创歌剧，更缺少能够与世界经典《图兰朵》、《茶花女》、《卡门））等媲美的中国经典，至于这批新作品能否像民族歌剧《白毛女》、《洪湖赤卫队》、《江姐》等代代传唱，也还要假以时日，甚至还要打上一个问号。

After its premiere run from June 21 to 24,The Canal Ballad,NCPA's first original folk opera,was revived last October. The drama,music and actors in The Canal Ballad all appeal to the Chinese audience.The success of this work is a useful yardstick in measuring original Chinese operas created in the past few years.
