摘要
直到去年夏天,很多人都还在猜测大都会歌剧院不可能按时推出2021-2022年度演出季。大都会与合唱团及后台工作人员的劳资谈判一直持续到去年6月,跟管弦乐团的艺术家们的合同谈判更是拖延至去年8月底。很多反对者——甚至大都会歌剧院内部的一些人——提出了一个令人信服的观点,歌剧院于2020年3月因新冠肺炎疫情关闭之后,不可能于这么短的时间内做好准备,在2021年9月就重开大门迎接观众并恢复现场演出。坦白说,我也觉得那些反对者言之有理。
As late as last summer,a lot of people were convinced that the Metropolita n Opera wouldn't open on time.Last year's labor negotiations with the chorus and stagehands had stretched into June,and con tract talks with the orchestra musicians kept dragging on till late August.Many nay-sayers-some even within the company-made a convincing case that,after being dark since March 2020,the company would never be ready to return to in-person performances in September.And I have to con fess,I ten ded to believed them.
