New Year Suite 提佩特 新年組曲 總譜 朔特版
新年》是邁克爾-提佩特最狂野、最開放的歌劇作品，對於一位元年過八旬的作曲家來說，這是一個異常年輕的構思，這部作品將他的抒情狂喜和節奏活力融入了一個瀕臨解體的新世界。與前四部作品都是為皇家歌劇院創作不同，這部作品是為休斯頓大歌劇院創作的，這促使蒂佩特從歌劇轉向音樂劇，甚至是搖滾音樂劇，為流行歌曲、口語對話、笑話，尤其是舞蹈提供了空間--肢體的共同運動，就像《仲夏夜之戀》一樣，但現在是在一個更寬鬆的框架內，用音樂來表達語言所不能表達的東西。喬安和唐尼--年輕的女人和年輕人，白人和黑人，都是孤兒--無法加入舞蹈，因為他們在個人的恐懼和幻想中孤立無援。舞蹈本身也因這座 "今日某地 "城市的社會不安而岌岌可危。"明日某地 "的來訪者：一艘太空船的船長（瑞根）、飛行員（佩格林）和電腦魔法師（梅林）--儘管這些科幻角色後來都成了儀式的參與者（他們也有自己的人類問題）。唐尼經歷了一次神奇的轉變；喬安通過愛獲得了離開她一直躲藏的房間的勇氣（保羅-格里菲斯）"

The wildest and most open of his operas, New Year is an extraordinarily youthful conception for a composer in his mid-eighties, a work that spins his lyrical ecstasy and rhythmic vitality into a new world on the point of disintegration. Unlike its four predecessors, all of which had been written for the Royal Opera House, this one was composed for Houston Grand Opera, a relocation that encouraged Tippett to veer from opera to musical, evenrock musical, giving space to pop song, spoken dialogue, joke and, above all, dance—the communal movement of bodies that would, as in The MidsummerMarriage but now within a much looser framework, with music say what words could not. Jo Ann and Donny—young woman and youngman, white and black, both orphans—cannot join the dance, isolated as they are inside their personal fears and fantasies. And the dance itself is imperilled by social unease in this city that is ‘Somewhere and Today’.To it come visitors from ‘Nowhere and Tomorrow’: the captain (Regan), pilot (Pelegrin) and computer wizard (Merlin) of a space vessel—though thesescience-fiction characters turn out to be ritual agents (and to have human problems of their own). Donny undergoes a magical transformation; Jo Ann, through love, gains the courage to leave the room in which she has been hiding.(Paul Griffiths)
