嘉辛顿歌剧院首部委约作品《滑冰场》首演

Garsington Opera premieres its first-ever commission, The Skating Rink

在专业术语中，“惊悚剧”是一种“让观众相信一件事在特定的情况下是特别的，而在现实中事情一般不会这样发展”的故事类型。相较来说，虽然电影、戏剧和小说中有更多的惊悚剧，但歌剧中也有这种类型的作品．如《魔笛》《蓝胡子城堡》，和新创的歌剧《滑冰场》（The Skating Rink）。

Composer David Sawer and librettist Rory Mullarkey's new creation, which was specifically commissioned by Garsington Opera, is based on Rober to Bola?o's 1993 novel. Operatic adaptations of suspense stories(from films, plays or novels) are always a tall order.
