The Dead City op. 12 Opera in three acts 康戈爾德 歌劇 總譜 朔特版

這部由埃裡希-沃爾夫岡-科恩戈爾德（Erich Wolfgang Korngold）在年僅 23 歲時創作的傑作，曾是上世紀二三十年代最成功的舞臺作品之一，後被國家社會主義者從戲劇日程表中刪除。該劇於 20 世紀 70 年代被重新發現，此後一直廣受歡迎。劇本由作曲家的父親、音樂評論家尤利烏斯-科恩戈爾德（Julius Korngold）以 "保羅-肖特"（Paul Schott）的筆名創作，"保羅-肖特 "是主人公名字與出版社名字的組合。科恩戈爾德對這一具有象徵意義的情節十分著迷，並創作了色彩鮮明的管弦樂配樂。各種歌劇手法交織在一起，如同萬花筒一般：華麗的詠歎調、高級的和聲、心理分析的深刻性以及在現實與夢境之間搖擺的電影式轉場，保證了這部作品的現代性一直延續至今"

原文簡介:
This masterpiece, composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold when he was only 23, was one of the great stage successes of the 1920s and 30s before being removed from theatre schedules by the National Socialists. Rediscovered in the 1970s, it has enjoyed continuing popularity ever since. The libretto was compiled by the composer’s father, the music critic Julius Korngold, writing under the pseudonym ‘Paul Schott’, a combination of the name of the protagonist and the publishing house.A vivacious theatre group comes to liven up the gloomy city of Bruges (here, a symbol of death) and the widower Paul is forced to decide between the past and the present. Korngold was fascinated by this symbolic plot and created an iridescent orchestral score washed in vivid colours. A variety of operatic devices are intermingled as if viewed through a kaleidoscope: opulent melodic arias, advanced harmonies, psychoanalytic profundity and cinematic transitions oscillating between reality and dream worlds guarantee the continuing modernity of this work up to the present day.
