摘要
继巴黎华丽的公开首演之后，1832年，贾科莫·迈耶贝尔（GiacomoMeyerbeer）的歌剧《恶魔罗勃》首次于伦敦演出．地址在皇家歌剧院。尽管2012年12月18日由劳伦·佩利（LaurentPelly）执导的《恶魔罗勃》新制作已经是这部戏在皇家歌剧院的第75次演出了，但它却是1890年以来的第一次。为什么会有这么长的间隔呢？乔治·萧伯纳在他1898年《完美的瓦格纳追随者》一书中将其归结为“年轻的一代无法理解他们为何要将迈耶贝尔的影响力看得如此重要”。
OUTLINE / After 122 years' disappearance at Covent Garden,a new production of Meyerbeer's Robert le citable returned to the stage in December 2012.Unfortunately, direction and costume design by Laurent Pelly didn't add any luster to this once-beloved,now-forgotten work.Instead, he created a whole stage of chaos and absurdity.Fortunately Daniel Oren's conducting was as great as ever;principal singers,including Bryan Hymel,Patrizia Cfofi,John Relyea, Marina Poplavskaya,Jean-Francois Borras,and the chorus were impressive.Overall,the production was certainly worth a glimpse but perhaps not wortliy of revival any time soon.The only thing that rescued the audience from four hours of absurdity was the expert singing.
