点评:I paid a lot of money and drove across three countries to see Der Freischütz. Instead, what I saw was some idiotic expressionist baloney, based only extremely loosely on the opera's synopsis, just sprinkled here and there with badly mutilated bits and pieces of Weber's music. Poor Weber must have been rolling over in his grave. What a piece of utter garbage. I feel so cheated. I want my money and my time back.
I'll give them that the mise en scène was great, and that the lead singers did indeed sing absolutely beautifully (the orchestra, sadly, not so much). That's why I'm giving them two stars instead of one. For someone who has never heard this opera and has no idea what to expect, the show was fantastic. But to a connoisseur of classical music, and especially of Weber's work, it was extremely painful to watch and to listen to.
I don't know if all of the Bregenzer Festspiele performances are like this. Maybe others are more normal and honest. But I won't take my chances again. I will never, ever, return. You know, shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice. They definitely won't fool me twice.
翻译:我花了很多钱,开车穿越三个国家去看《魔弹射手》。然而,我看到的却是一些愚蠢的表现主义胡说八道,完全基于歌剧概要,只是到处散布着韦伯音乐的残缺片段。可怜的韦伯一定在坟墓里翻来覆去。真是一堆垃圾。我觉得自己被骗了。我想要回我的钱和时间。
我承认,场面调度很棒,主唱确实唱得非常好(可惜管弦乐队唱得不是很好)。这就是为什么我给他们两颗星而不是一颗。对于一个从未听过这部歌剧、不知道会发生什么的人来说,这场演出很精彩。但对于古典音乐鉴赏家,尤其是韦伯作品的鉴赏家来说,观看和聆听它非常痛苦。
我不知道布雷根茨音乐节的所有表演是否都是这样的。也许其他人更正常、更诚实。但我不会再冒险了。我永远不会再回来。你知道,如果你欺骗我一次,你会感到羞耻,如果你欺骗我两次,我会感到羞耻。他们绝对不会再欺骗我两次。
