看点:
意大利著名歌剧大师的绝唱
意大利著名歌剧大师普契尼的最后一部作品《图兰朵》无疑是伟大的绝唱,剧中耳熟能详的著名咏叹调“今夜无人入眠”已经成为歌剧男高音的代表曲目,罕见的东方故事更给人留下深刻印象。当代著名导演罗伯特·威尔逊(Robert Wilson)以其标志性的极简主义和未来主义风格,颠覆性地重塑了这部意大利歌剧经典。
后现代主义代表
罗伯特·威尔逊的舞台作品被誉为后现代主义之代表,其对于演员的妆容与肢体动作、舞台布景、灯光与音响效果有着独到的理解和设计,因而作品带有极具辨识度的美学特质。
马德里皇家歌剧院等联合制作
此次为马德里皇家歌剧院执导的《图兰朵》是与加拿大多伦多歌剧院、立陶宛国家剧院联合制作的,也是威尔逊继巴黎歌剧院《蝴蝶夫人》后导演的第二部普契尼歌剧。瑞典明星女高音艾琳·特奥林(Irène Theorin)和美国男高音格雷戈里·孔德(Gregory Kunde)倾情出演。
Giacomo Puccini's last opera needs no introduction. After a 20 year absence, Turandot returns to the Teatro Real in a new production by one of the greatest stage directors of the 20th and 21st centuries: Robert Wilson, the creator of unforgettable images in The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic and Pelléas et Mélisande. In a cast led by Irène Theorin, Gregory Kunde and Yolanda Auyanet, the Associate Musical Director of the Teatro Real, Nicola Luisotti, conducts one of the greatest operas of Italian repertory.
Wilson is among the world's foremost theater and visual artists. His works for the stage unconventionally integrate a wide variety of artistic media, including dance, movement, lighting, sculpture, music and text. His images are aesthetically striking and emotionally charged, and his productions have earned the acclaim of audiences and critics worldwide.
After Madama Butterfly (Paris, 1993), Turandot was Robert Wilson's second production of an opera by Giacomo Puccini. For the performances in Madrid and Vilnius, the finale by Franco Alfano (with Toscanini's cuts) was used.
