虽然本季没有 Mattei,但 MET 依然奉献了精彩难忘的演出,卡斯很强。这样的一套卡斯是《费加罗》这部戏需要的,因为虽然剧名是叫费加罗,但婚礼不能只有一个人,每个角色各有闪光的瞬间。
我再次确认了莫扎特的复杂性(sophiscation):第二幕和第四幕终曲的重唱可以说是前无古人后无来者了吧。说起来,本剧和莫扎特/庞特的另一次合作《女人心》都是以“伪装”为主题的。喧闹的场面,掩盖不住两个作者洞察了世情的沁凉。
今天达成了“九莲宝灯”成就,而且很幸运地拿了 A 排的票。坐在数字低音背后,音响好得不真实,而且还可以观赏歌手们的颜艺。开场之前和中场休息的时候我和 C.J. 在 Grand Tier 用餐,坐在大吊灯和喷泉的连线上,不知道被多少人拍入了纪念照片的背景。
Despite the absence of Mattei, MET delivered a wonderful performance with a strong cast. A strong cast is essential for an opera like Figaro, for the opera is named after Figaro, but the nozze can not be a one-man show after all.
In this performance I was again amazed by Mozart’s sophistication: the vocal ensembles at the end of Act II and IV are the first of their kind and probably never surpassed. On another end, along with Così fan tutte, both Mozart/Di Ponte collaborations theme “disguise.” Beneath the cheeriness is the chilling insights from both authors who saw through human nature.
Today was the ninth day in a row on which I attended a live performance, and luckily I got A-row tickets. Behind the continuo, the acoustics were too good to believe, and I got the chance to observe the singers’ facial expression. Before opening and during the intermission, C.J. and I dined at Grand Tier Restaurant. We were seated right between the Sputnik and the fountain. I have no idea how many times we were taken into the background of fellow opera goers’ photos.
