两部小戏带来欢喜——听喜歌剧《丽达》《电话》中国首演

On the China premieres of Rita and The Telephone

曾经的歌剧就是一种最为普及的大众娱乐,后期却被哄抬到至高无上的地位,大歌剧、正歌剧基本一统天下唯我独尊,而与之相对的喜歌剧（包括轻歌剧、刺歌剧等）尤其是小型歌剧却被无端地边缘化了。可能由于个人审美趣味使然,我素来也是偏爱悲剧胜于喜剧。总感觉,悲剧沉甸甸、喜剧轻飘飘,更崇尚威尔第、瓦格纳、普契尼及《阿依达》《汤豪舍》《波希米亚人》。

The 2016 Beijing Comic Opera Festival(artistic director:David Li Wei)marked the fifth annual installment of this series.The performances were novel and unique,especially Rita(opening night) and The Telephone(closing night),both of which were China premieres.
