The Importance of Being Earnest Opera in 3 acts based on the text by Oscar Wilde 白瑞．杰拉德 歌剧 歌词 总谱 朔特版

当被问及剧本的主题是什么时，王尔德回答道："我们应该非常认真地对待生活中所有琐碎的事情，而对于生活中所有严肃的事情，我们也应该真诚而认真地对待琐碎。杰拉尔德-巴里（Gerald Barry）根据该剧改编的第五部歌剧是一部真正的喜剧，却有着阴暗的内心。前四部歌剧都有出色的剧本，但创作于 1894 年的《情何以堪》在结构上堪称完美，而巴里大胆的创作手法成功地打破了人们的所有期待。正如巴里所描述的那样 这部剧的骨骼是无法撼动的。我的版本就是它的 X 光片。从贝多芬到勋伯格，所有的音乐都以一种肆无忌惮的潇洒和无厘头的机智处理，让观众眼花缭乱、惊愕不已并为之着迷"

原文简介:
When asked what the theme of his play was, Wilde answered “That we should treat all trivial things in life very seriously, and all serious things in life with a sincere and studied triviality. Gerald Barry’s fifth opera based on the play is genuine comic with a dark heart. The previous four have remarkable libretti, but The Importance of Being Earnest, written in 1894, is all but perfect in its construction, and Barry’s audacious approach triumphantly confounds all expectations. As Barry describes it: The play’s bones are unshatterable. My version is an X-ray of it. The musical references range from Beethoven to Schoenberg, all treated with a reckless panache and impish wit, by turns dazzling, startling and charming the audience.
