摘要
坐在酒店的大堂里，马修希尔沃克（Matthew Shilvock）用手机回放了一段排练的录像，带着一个牛津学生在学术上取得突破后般的残余激情。屏幕里，女高音歌唱家卡门·詹纳塔西奥（Carmen Giannattasio）攀登着仿造罗马圣安杰洛城堡搭建的布景，中途停下来对着镜头唱歌；而后继续攀登，停在标志性的天使雕塑旁，瞬间从布景的边缘消失。
Sitting in his hotel lobby, Matthew Shilvock replays a rehearsal video on his mobile phone with the residual fervor of an Oxford student making a scholarly breakthrough. On the screen, the soprano Carmen Giannattasio climbs a mock-up of Rome＇s CastelSant＇Angelo before stopping midway and singing toward the camera. Continuing her climb, she pauses at the iconic angel sculpture, then disappears from the edge. ＂So many Toscas simply rush to the top, sing, and jump,＂ Shilvock says gleefully. ＂Then the soldiers stumble in befuddled and it just saps out all the drama.＂
