搬上戏剧舞台的块择:歌剧与清唱剧细微的界限

To Stage or Notto Stage:The fine line between opera and oratorio

最近,我心里一直挂念着清唱剧。但我所说的不是“那部”清唱剧。我知道现在适逢岁末,但是普罗大众——甚至包括英语世界中过半的合唱团——需要明白,除了亨德尔的《弥赛亚》外,还有很多其他的清唱剧剧目。不过,我们不得不佩服亨德尔:的确是他制定了清唱剧的模式。

I've been thinking a lot about oratorios lately.No,not that oratorio.I know it's the end of the year,but many people out there-including half the choral societies in the English-speaking world-need to know that there's more in the repertoire than Handel's Messiah.
