点评:We went to see Siegfried by Wagner - live from the Royal Opera House. This was more than 5 hours and we went fully expecting we would have had enough by the end of the first (of three) act - we are both amateur musicians and keen on Wagner but not being in our first youth, thought we might not last.... However we were hooked by the end of the first act and stayed to the end, enjoying it more and more, particularly the wonderful orchestral music in the third act. The volunteer staff behind the bar and in the two in the auditorium were excellent - very friendly, kind and helpful. This in spite of the fact that the number of people in the auditorium was only 9 including themselves! Very disappointing for the Quay. Perhaps people will give Wagner another chance when the final episode of "The Ring" cycle is live streamed at the Quay.
翻译:我们去皇家歌剧院现场观看了瓦格纳的歌剧《齐格弗里德》。演出超过五个小时,我们原本以为第一幕(共三幕)结束时就会觉得够了——我们都是业余音乐爱好者,也很喜欢瓦格纳,但毕竟年纪大了,觉得可能坚持不了多久……然而,第一幕结束时我们就完全被吸引住了,一直看到最后,而且越看越喜欢,尤其是第三幕精彩绝伦的管弦乐。酒吧和剧院里的两位志愿者工作人员都非常棒——热情友好,乐于助人。要知道,当时剧院里只有九个人,包括他们自己!这对码头剧院来说真是太令人失望了。或许等到码头剧院直播《尼伯龙根的指环》的最后一幕时,人们会再给瓦格纳一次机会。
