点评:We went to see Franco Zeffirelli’s spectacular production of Aida and, having read so many differing reviews beforehand, I thought I would add my own perspective.
Yes, the seating can be uncomfortable, but you know that before you go, so take a cushion. Wear comfortable shoes, book a hotel close to the Arena and simply embrace the whole experience. We stayed at the Vista Verona, which meant we could walk back afterwards and feel completely safe without having to worry about finding taxis late at night.
My advice would be to buy the best tickets you can comfortably afford because this is one of those occasions where it really is about the experience. Sitting inside a Roman amphitheatre watching Aida performed under the stars was quite extraordinary.
This was my first opera and I absolutely loved it. The words were translated into English on screens, which made the story so much easier for us to follow and added enormously to our enjoyment.
Take the cushion, forget about the price of the ticket once you are there, look around you and soak it all up. Opera under the stars in Verona really does not get much better than this.
翻译:我们去观看了弗兰科·泽菲雷里执导的精彩版《阿依达》。由于事先读到了诸多褒贬不一的评论,我觉得自己也应该分享一下看法。
没错,剧场里的座位可能不太舒适,但这一点你在去之前就应该有所预料,所以记得带上坐垫。穿双舒适的鞋子,预订一家离竞技场近的酒店,然后尽情享受整个观剧体验吧。我们下榻的便是维斯塔维罗纳酒店。这意味着事后我们可以安心步行返回,完全不必担心深夜打不到出租车的问题。
我的建议是:尽量购买自己负担得起的最好的票券,因为这种场合确实重在体验。坐在罗马圆形剧场里,在星空下观赏《阿依达》的演出,真是令人难忘的经历。
这是我第一次看歌剧,我简直爱死了。台词也被翻译成英文显示在屏幕上。这使得我们更容易理解整个故事,也大大增加了观赏的乐趣。
拿着坐垫吧,到了那里就别再去想票价的事了,环顾四周,尽情享受吧。在维罗纳的星空下欣赏歌剧,真的再没有比这更美妙的体验了。
