旧金山歌剧院制作首部英文版歌剧《红楼梦》,首次将这部小说搬上西方歌剧舞台。该剧在主题、结构、情节、人物等方面进行了诸多改编,既有令人赞叹的灵动之笔,也有使人遗憾的误读。这是中国家喻户晓的红楼故事在西方歌剧舞台的首度讲述,无论其亮点还是遗憾之处,都值得后来者认真思考与借鉴。 San Francisco Opera produced the first English version of the opera “Dream of Red Mansions”, for the first time this novel onto the stage of the Western opera. The play in the theme, structure, plot, character and many other aspects of the adaptation, both amazing magic Smart pen, but also regrettable misreading. This is the first time that China’s well-known story of Red Mansions tells its story in the western opera scene, and no matter its bright spots or regrettable places, it is worth later consideration and reflection.
