歌剧《史蒂夫·乔布斯的变革之路》:虽然乏味,但却是一场胜利

Steve Jobs opera proves tedious-but still a triumph

作曲家马松·贝茨（Mason Bates）与脚本作者马克·坎贝尔（Mark Campbell）7月末在圣达菲歌剧院举行的歌剧《史蒂夫·乔布斯的变革之路》首演中大获全胜。当帷幕合上、音乐结束,观众席沸腾了。

Mason Bates,composer,and Mark Campbell,librettist,had a triumph on Saturday night with the world premiere of The(Revolution of Steve Jobs at the Santa Fe Opera.The audience let out a whoop as soon as the music ended,and the curtain calls were downright raucous.Even before opening night,demand was so great that the company added an additional performance—uncommon for any opera,let alone a new work—and the piece is being recorded for CD release.In short:a lot of people really liked this work.Although the opera had some good music,there were moments that were tedious.
