“Satyagraha features minimal subtitles.
Composer Philip Glass used as his text the ancient Sanskrit scripture the
Bhagavad Gita, which does not relate to the actual action taking place on stage.
Glass did not wish the text to be understood -- just to be heard -- and to allow
the actions on stage to speak for themselves.”
The
Met’s visually extravagant production is
back for an encore engagement. Richard Croft
once again is Gandhi in Philip Glass’s
unforgettable opera, which the Washington
Post calls “a profound and beautiful work
of theater.”

In
one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque
opera have it all: the world’s best singers,
glorious music of the Baroque masters, and
a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted
Island, the lovers from Shakespeare’s A
Midsummer Night’s Dream are shipwrecked
on his other-worldly island of The Tempest.
Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques
of the 18th century, the work showcases
arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi,
Rameau, and others, and a new libretto
by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William
Christie leads an all-star cast with David
Daniels (Prospero) and Joyce DiDonato (Sycorax)
as the formidable foes, Plácido Domingo
as Neptune, Danielle de Niese as Ariel,
and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. Lisette Oropesa
and Anthony Roth Costanzo play Miranda and
Ferdinand. The dazzling production is directed
and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian
Crouch (Satyagraha and the Met’s 125 anniversary
gala).
一部非凡卓越的新作，滿足巴洛克歌劇愛好者的所有願望：世界頂級歌唱家、巴洛克大師傾情奉獻的華彩樂章，更有改編自莎翁的壯麗篇章。莎翁筆下《仲夏夜之夢》的那對情侶經歷海難不幸，終於登上了《暴風雨》中的又一異界名島
– 《魔幻島》。本作靈感源自十八世紀拼貼音樂劇及假面舞會，奉上韓德爾、維瓦爾第、拉莫及其他作曲家譜寫的詠嘆調及合唱，以及由傑里米‧薩姆斯撰寫的新唱詞。傑出指揮家
William Christie 領銜全明星陣容，其中包括大衛‧丹尼爾斯（波布羅）和狄杜娜朵（希克拉庫斯）（飾可怖的敵人）、普拉西多‧多明戈（飾海神）、迪‧妮絲（飾精靈）及路卡‧皮沙隆尼（飾卡利班）。Lisette
Oropesa 及 Anthony Roth Costanzo分別飾演米蘭達和斐迪南。這部眩目的歌劇由Phelim
McDermott及Julian Crouch(《真理堅固》及大都會歌劇院之125週年慶典）攜手執導及設計。
