品 94 #12 2017 年 9 月 亚 历山大·哲林斯基的《佛罗伦斯悲剧，第16号作品》早 于1917年初在德国西南部城市斯图加特首演，迄今正 好一百周年。澳门乐团与十几位来自亚太地区的客席乐师以及 三位歌唱家携手合作，大胆地以这部层次丰富却鲜为人知的歌 剧作2016-17乐季闭幕音乐会。 爱尔兰裔英国作家、剧作家兼诗人奥斯卡·王尔德尽管最 后身败名裂，但其文学遗产却一直延续至今。才华横溢、著作 极丰且反对束缚的王尔德之于十九世纪英语文学，堪比沃尔夫 冈·阿马德乌斯·莫扎特之于十八世纪欧陆古典音乐。自二十 世纪初起，王尔德的著作多次被创作改编成歌剧，诸如理查 德·施特劳斯的《莎乐美，第54号作品》、哲林斯基的《佛罗 伦斯悲剧，第16号作品》和《侏儒，第17号作品》，以及谢 尔盖·普罗科菲耶夫的《马达莱纳》。 P recisely a century since its première in Stuttgart, Germany, Alexander Zemlinsky’s Eine florentinische Tragödie, Op. 16 received its Asian première at the Macao Orchestra’s 2016- 17 Season Closing Concert. Bolstered by well over a dozen guest musicians from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, the orchestra alongside three opera singers delivered a convincing interpretation of the multi-layered and yet little- known piece, in the form of a concert opera. Despite his dramatic fall from grace, the legacy of the Anglo-Irish author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde lives on. Ingenious, prolific and rebellious, Wilde was to 19th century Victorian literature whatWolfgang Amadeus Mozart was to 18th century classical music. Since the turn of the 20th century, numerous operas have been created on the basis of Wilde’s works, including Salome, Op. 54 by Richard Strauss, Eine florentinische Tragödie, Op. 16 and Der Zwerg, Op. 17 by Alexander Zemlinsky, and Maddalena by Sergei Prokofiev.
