Two Boys An Opera in Two Acts Vocal Score 歌劇 聲樂總譜

受大都會歌劇院委託創作。尼科-穆利的這部歌劇的靈感來源於幾年前發生在英格蘭北部的一起真實案件，它進入了青少年臥室的秘密世界，探討了網路生活的現實和風險。一個十幾歲的男孩被刺身亡。另一個男孩被閉路電視拍到離開現場。這似乎是一起懸而未決的案件。但是，當探長安妮-斯特勞森調查大男孩的故事時，她發現了聊天室會面、虛假身份、虛構的間諜組織和淫穢的網路性愛等離奇的關聯，最終得出一個結論：這與其說是謀殺，不如說是網路自殺"

原文簡介:
Commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera. Loosely inspired by a true case that happened in the North of England a few years ago, Nico Muhly's opera enters the secret world of the teenage bedroom and explores on the realities and risks of living our lives online. A teenage boy is fatally stabbed. Another boy is caught on CCTV leaving the scene. An open-and-shut-case, it would seem. But, as the Detective Inspector Anne Strawson investigates the older boy's story, she uncovers a bizarre nexus of chatroom meetings, false identities, fictitious spy rings and raunchy cybersex, leading to just one conclusion: it wasn't so much murder as suicide by internet.
