点评:After attending both the opera and Shakespeare at Doddington Hall over the past 2 - 3 years I was really looking forward to going to see Twelfth Night last Wednesday. Two friends and myself armed with fold up chairs and picnic queued with fellow thespian lovers in anticipation of a lovely evening. Alas, all that was to change as we were herded into the gardens and told to form rows in front of the stage with barely enough leg room let alone room to have a picnic. The whole ambience was ruined, the relaxed atmosphere where we enjoy a picnic and performance had been destroyed and for what reason I do not know?
I might add here that the other issue was the difficulty in using the facilities as one had to first negotiate an obstacle course of picnic baskets and blankets etc while disturbing others members of the audience.
翻译:过去两三年,我都在多丁顿音乐厅观看歌剧和莎士比亚戏剧,一直盼望着上周三去看《第十二夜》。我和两个朋友带着折叠椅和野餐,和其他戏剧爱好者一起排队,期待着一个美好的夜晚。然而,一切都变了,我们被赶到花园,被告知在舞台前排成几排,连伸腿的空间都不够,更别说野餐了。整个氛围被毁了,原本轻松的野餐和观看表演的氛围也被破坏了,至于原因,我也不知道。
我想补充一下,另一个问题是设施使用起来很困难,因为必须先通过由野餐篮、毯子等组成的障碍物,还要打扰其他观众。
