Opera review 歌剧评论 Einstein on thebeach 沙滩上的爱因斯坦 Breaking the waves; An avant-garde opera ona rare world tour. 乘风破浪;一部先锋歌剧正在进行世界巡演，机会难得。 THE music of Einstein on the Beach is so grand and epicyet so mesmerising andrepetitivethat it feels as if it were the soundscape of a dream. Indeed, much of this oddand wondrous opera, the work of Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, with some transcendentchoreography from Lucinda Childs, seems to inhabit a liminal space, eerie andotherworldly. Clocking in at nearly five hours without an interval , the production is less a work of entertainment than an experience. 沙滩上的爱因斯坦的音乐如史诗般宏伟壮丽同时循环重复，引人入胜让人有置身梦中之感。这部由菲利普格拉斯和罗伯特威尔逊共同创作，经露辛达蔡尔兹出色编排的奇特而绝妙的歌剧，在很大程度上仿佛令人真的来到了一个奇异的超凡的朦胧世界。演出时间几乎五个小时，中间没有休息。观赏这部作品与其说是娱乐，倒不如说是一种体验。 Einstein stunned audiences at the operas premiere in Avignon 36 years ago; itsnarrative-free mesh of music, dance and drama inspired many to feel that they werewitnessing something unprecedented. Word of mouth ensured Einstein enjoyed a sell-outtour in Europe, and then a heros welcome home in New York in late 1976, where the showfilled every seat at the Metropolitan Opera. The avant-garde has become official, exclaimeda Met producer at the time. |
