别回头——背后的目光是个未知数

Don’t Look Back(You never know who’s watching)

你会不会时不时地有种错觉,感觉好像有个神秘人物在跟踪你?这一年来,我总怀疑是不是马修·奥库安(Matthew Aucoin)一直躲在我背后。好吧,我承认,自从看过他的歌剧《欧律狄刻》(Eurydice)后,我也在持续关注他。在我心目中,这部歌剧是大都会歌剧院多年来所搬演过的、最超卓的新歌剧制作。不久之前我在外面开会,会议一结束我就立马赶回家,为的是在线收看一场跨艺术类别研讨会的视频直播。

Ever have the sense that someone is stalking you?I've been feeling that way about Matthew Aucoin for a while now.Okay,I admit,I've been stalking him a bit too ever since I saw his opera Eurydice,which I still think is the best new show the Metropolitan Opera has staged in years.I even rushed home recently after an in-person meeting to catch a Zoom seminar about interdisciplinarv collaboration where Aucoin,as a Co-founder of the American Modern Opera Company(or"AMOC,"which ltrally sounds like lunatics living on the edge),pretty much set the tone for all art forms in the future.
