Die Fledermaus 《蝙蝠》
Die Fledermaus 輕歌劇《蝙蝠》
在華麗的面具下,沒有美醜,也沒有富貴貧賤,王子可以是乞丐,乞丐也可以是王子......大家能夠身份大換轉當然成為劇作家的好題材,而小約翰·施特勞斯Johann Strauss, Jr. 的歌劇《蝙蝠》也是圍繞著一個化妝舞會的。
輕歌劇《蝙蝠》取材自十九世紀法國劇作家梅克及夏威的喜劇〝晚宴〞,哈夫納及和傑內譯成德文劇本,劇情描述艾森斯坦男爵因侮辱官員,即將鎯鐺入獄。朋友福克博士建議他趁入獄之前,好好與美女們共舞,享受人生,邀請男爵參加一場化妝舞會,接連衍生一連串花花草草荒謬趣事,原來這一切都是福克博士為了復仇所一手策劃的鬧劇。最後大家前嫌盡釋,就怪都是香檳惹的禍。
The Operetta Die Fledermaus was composed by Johann Strauss, Jr. based on the French Comedy "Le Reveillon" by Henri Meilhac & Ludovic Halevy with German libretto by Carl Haffner & Richard Genee. The story tells how Dr. Falke revenges on his friend Eisenstein, who made a practical joke on Falke leaving him sleeping in a bat costume in the town square after getting drunk. With branded Viennese elegance and sparkling orchestration, Strauss tied up the story with sweet melodies and soothing harmonies, interwoven with whimsical dialogues into a wild musical party that leaves the audience singing along and laughing out loud.
