独特新制作中新星冉冉升起——观英国皇家歌剧院《参孙与达利拉》

Rising stars in unique new productions——On ROH’s Samson et Dalila

当19世纪中叶法国对合唱音乐的兴趣重新风靡时,崇拜亨德尔和门德尔松清唱剧的卡米尔·圣-桑(Camille Saint-Sa?ns)准备创作一部以《圣经·旧约》中参孙和达利拉故事为主题的清唱剧。在与脚本作者费迪南德·勒梅尔(Ferdinand Lemaire)商讨时,后者使他信服这一题材更适合歌剧,圣-桑便自1867年开始创作三幕歌剧《参孙与达利拉》(Samson et Dalila)。

The last time the opera Samson et Dalila appeared at London’s Covent Garden was in 2004.The new version in May 2022 was directed by Richard Jones,the renowned British theater and opera director.
