《魂断威尼斯》，两幕歌剧，由马凡·帕博尔据托马斯·曼同名小说撰写脚本，英国作曲家布里顿（Benjamin
Britten，1913―1976年）作曲，1973年6月16日首演于奥尔德堡。这是布里顿最后的一部歌剧，题献给皮尔斯。彼得
·皮尔斯不仅是布里顿生活上的伴侣
，而且还是他事业上不可缺少的伙伴，布里顿的许多作品都是为这位英国当代杰出的男高音歌唱家而作的，他歌剧中的许多主要角色也因此而由男高音担当。缘此，该剧十分难得地向我们提供了一个可以从中窥探作曲家情感世界的机会。 本剧倾尽全力刻画了一位受到同性之美诱惑的老作家阿申巴赫的复杂心态。故事的主人公古斯塔夫·阿申巴赫是一位功成名就的著名作家，年届五旬的他，妻子离世、女儿出嫁，并由于长年笔耕不辍而心力交瘁、灵感枯竭。在威尼斯度假时，他遇到了一个来自波兰的贵族少年塔奇奥，后者俊美的相貌体态使老作家陷入心灵的痛苦挣扎之中。在由最初追求理性的“完美”逐渐变化为感官的“愉悦 ”过程中，他不由自主地堕入深渊。当威尼斯瘟疫肆虐之时，阿申巴赫倒在了空寂的海滩上。 布里顿在歌剧中进一 步发展了他在《彼得 ·格莱姆斯》（Peter Grimes，Op.33）中所采用的某些电影艺术的手法 ，使这部两幕歌剧表现出耳目一新的视觉效果。全剧由17个场景构成 ，场景之间的频繁交替如同放大了的电影剪切镜头，每个场景之间的音乐长度基本平均，人物 之间采用近乎对白般的宣叙调，主人公的几段独白式的宣叙调在乐谱上仅标明音高而无时值。同样值得一提的是，作曲家在这部歌剧中恢复了宣叙调的传统形式 ，无论是钢琴伴奏的宣叙调，还是乐队伴奏的宣叙调 ，都被恢复到了它们在早期意大利歌剧中的那种地位。 |

Joseph Soul of
Venice, a two-act opera written by Marvin Paabo and based on Thomas
Mann's novel of the same name and composed by British composer Benjamin
Britten (1913-1976), premiered in Aldeburgh on June 16, 1973.It was
Britten's last opera, dedicated to Pierce.Peter Pearce was not only
Britten's companion in life, but also his indispensable companion in his
career. Many of Britten's works were written for the great British tenor
of his time, and many of the principal roles in his operas were thus
performed by tenors.As a result, the play offers a rare glimpse into the
composer's emotional world. The show does its best to depict the complex mind of an old writer, Ashenbach, seduced by the beauty of the same sex.The protagonist of the story, Gustav Ashenbach, is a famous and successful writer. At the age of fifty, his wife died and his daughter married.While vacationing in Venice, he met tacio, a polish nobleman whose good looks and figure made the old writer suffer in his mind.In the process from the initial pursuit of rational "perfection" to the gradual change of sensory "pleasure", he involuntarily fell into the abyss.As the Venetian plague raged, Ashenbach fell on the deserted beach. Britten further developed in the opera some of the cinematic techniques he used in Peter Grimes (Op.33), giving the two-act opera a refreshing visual effect.The whole play consists of 17 scenes, the frequent alternations between scenes are like amplified film cut shots, the length of music between each scene is basically equal, the characters adopt almost dialogue-like narration, and several monologue narration of the hero is only marked with pitch and no time value on the score.It is also worth mentioning that the composer has restored the traditional form of narrative in this opera, both the piano accompaniment and the band accompaniment have been restored to their position in the early Italian opera. |

Today in the
history of music Britten's opera of the same name, based on the novel Death in Venice, was staged in Aldeburgh on June 16, 1973.The novel is based on a novel written by Thomas Mann when Mahler was dying. Benjamin(Lord Britten of Aldeburg) (Edward) Benjamin(Lorci Britten of Aldeburg) was born in 1913 in Rostoft;He died in Alderberg, 1976.British composer, pianist, and conductor.Born on 22 November on St Cecilia's Day, it bodes well for the career of Britain's greatest composer.He is primarily a vocal composer, and his operas and vocal tracks are widely recognized internationally.Never abandoning tonality, he was a "modern" commentator with a large audience and a conservative composer, but no brainy radical dared to deny his creative spirit.Like parry, Vaughan Williams and Holst before him, he was deeply interested in amateur and children's music.His brilliant talent for piano and conducting, combined with his exquisite creativity, led him to also compose for the cellist Rostropovich, the vocalist Visevskaya, Fischer-Dieskau, and Janet Baker, among others.His friendship with the tenor Peter Pears had the greatest human influence on his music, and Britten composed many opera roles and harmonies for him. Britten's musical talents showed at an early age, taking piano lessons from Harold Samuel during the school holidays and from Frank.Frank Bricige studied composition;Bridge's influence was particularly strong and lasting.Britten studied at the Royal College of Music from 1930 to 33, but found its musical atmosphere unsympathetic, unsympathetic, and dissatisfied with its refusal to permit him to go to Vienna to study with Berg.Learned piano from Benjamin, and learned composition from Arlan.His impressive early works were published, including "Sin Fonietta" and "A Boy Was Born," and his band's vocal suite, "Our Hunting Fathers" (lyrics by Auden Auden), was performed at the Norwich College Festival in 1936.While working for the General Post Office Film Corps, he scored more than a dozen short documentaries, most notably Coal Face and Night Mail (both in 1936).He created "Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge", for a Concert by the Boyd Neal String band at the Salzburg Festival in 1937.He and Pierce followed their friend, the poet Auden, to North America in 1939, where they lived until 1942, when in New York his violin concerto (1939) and "Sinfonia da Requiem" (1940) premiered at Carnegie Hall under Barberoli.After returning to England, Britten settled at Alderburgh in Suffolk.His opera, "Peter Grimes", opened at Sadler Springs on June 7, 1945, an important Date for British music that rivals the premiere of Elga's "Enigma" Variations in June 899.His interest in chamber opera led to the creation of the English Opera Company (now Engish Music Theatre). He hoped to create a Festival rooted in English rural life and featuring amateur Music, but attracting international performers.The first was held in 1948, and after that his career appeared to have no major events except the creation of a large number of works, many of which he conducted or played on the piano himself.Not only was he good at performing his own work, but he also excelled at playing Schubert, playing and conducting the exquisite works of Mozart, as well as Bach, Mahler, Elgar, Schumann and others.It was also a feature of Alderburgh that britten and his peers deemed worthy of reappraisal to have been neglected. Britten underwent major heart surgery in 1973, and since then events have been greatly reduced.He was made an honorary page in 1953 and made a special merit in 1965.He was the first composer to be made a life peer (Lord Britten of Aldeburgh, 1976).(Lord Berners inherited his title.) Britten's operas have dramatic effects, and the main strength of his art lies in his natural ability to find appropriate, simple, quickly remembered but not easily forgotten phrases to illustrate a problem or a situation.Another characteristic was his power to capture the imagination and interest of children."Let's Make an Opera," "Noyes Fludde" and "Saint Nicolas" bear this out.Themes of naivete, social persecution of "outsiders" and brutality (from his own pacifism and instinctive opposition to military service) fascinated him.These themes are most pronounced in The operas "Billy Budd," "The Turn of The Screw," and "Owen Wingrave," Myfanwy Piper's adaptation of Henry James.If these works, and works like the great "War Requiem," represent the darker side of his musical personality,1953 the coronation of the opera, raleigh Anaheim, "(Gloriana) (without success) at first, his luster of" a Midsummer Night's Dream "(Midsummer Night 's Dream), comedy" Albert ellyn "(AlbertHer -' ring), and such as piano concerto," college Cantata "(Cantata Academica) and the Spring Symphony (Spring Symphony), such as a large number of part-song and instrumental shows to express joy.He created a new genre of musical drama in three church parables, the first of which (Curlew River) was adapted from Nogaku;His vocal music cycle, the lyrics of English, French, Italian, German, Russian and other words, is an excellent composition;The five hymns are works of unique insight;His instrumental music, especially string quartets and suites for cello, explored and expanded the player's potential without diminishing its musicality.Few composers have captured the imagination of their listeners so powerfully in their lifetime as Britten;The audience eagerly awaited and enthralled each of his new works.His work was so pragmatic that the artists for whom he composed his music were most appreciative.After several visits to the Soviet Union, a strong friendship was forged with Shostakovich, who dedicated the title of his 14th Symphony to Britten.Britten's operas, especially evocations of Alderberg in the early 19th century, and "Peter Grimes" dominate his work, but it would be a mistake to ignore his non-vocal genius. 1.

| 托马斯·曼（Thomas Mann，1875—1955） | |||||||||||||||||||||||

托马斯·曼（Thomas
Mann，1875年6月6日—1955年8月12日），德国小说家和散文家，出生于德国北部卢卑克城一家望族。
1924年发表长篇小说《魔山》。1929年度获得诺贝尔文学奖。第一次世界大战时曾一度为帝国主义参战辩护，但30年代即大力反对法西斯主义威胁，发表了中篇佳作《马里奥与魔术师》（1930），对法西斯在意大利制造的恐怖气氛做了生动的描述
。 托马斯·曼是德国20世纪最著名的现实主义作家和人道主义者，受叔本华、尼采哲学思想影响。代表作是被誉为德国资产阶级的“一部灵魂史”的长篇小说《布登勃洛克一家》（1901），被看作德国19世纪后半期社会发展的艺术缩影。 1930年大选，纳粹一跃成为得票率奇高的党派。托马斯·曼一直不赞同这种煽动性的政治势力，于1930年10月17日在柏林贝多芬厅发表了被称为“德意志致词”的讲话，他质问是否“纳粹理想所要求的那种低级的，纯种的，思想单纯的，脚后跟行军中啪啪作响的，幼稚听话的，激情荡漾的真诚；这种高度的全民族的单一化在一个成熟且经验丰富的文化民族里，如德意志民族，真的可以实现。”除了托马斯·曼自己的作品不合纳粹的胃口之外，他哥哥亨利希·曼的进步言论，他妻子的犹太血统以及他子女公开的同性恋身份都足以令纳粹咬牙切齿。目睹理性知识分子日益受到排挤、迫害，目睹曾受良好教育的 德国青年在大街上跟随纳粹焚烧书籍，作为德国贵族礼仪的典范，托马斯·曼开始采用了谩骂的形式。在他的私人书信中，开始频繁出现“白痴”、“流氓”、“令人厌恶的小丑”、“悲惨的可怜人”、“蒙昧主义的痴呆”、“奴隶的劣根性”这些词，他用足了全部带有侮辱性的字眼，对纳粹德国及其人民“开骂”了。他在通信中写道：“德国人民要对所发生的事情负责。因为他们并不热爱自由，相反认为自由是一种可以完全忽视的形式。尽管遇到残酷的幻灭，在新的恐怖的制约下，他们甚至会比在共和国的环境中，还要感觉良好和幸福。”他把这种只有国家概念，没有人的概念的现象看做是一个民族智性和道德的衰败。他甚至认为野蛮的德国已经不配称作“国家”，而应当称为“白痴野战营地”。 1935年，他与爱因斯坦一起获得了哈佛大学荣誉文学博士的头衔。 1936年，托马斯·曼终于从私人书信转向公开表达：“对人类、道德及审美的无数观察让我确信，现在的德国政权对德国和世界都不会有什么好处。”同年，他被剥夺了德国国籍。同时，纳粹还剥夺了托马斯·曼于1919年被波恩大学授予的荣誉博士称谓。他声明不承认那个“占据在德国土地上的灭绝人性的统治政权”，当时的德国“没有思想，却又反对思想，反对所有高尚的、美好的、正派的东西，反对自由、真理和正义”。 1933年希特勒上台，他撰文谴责法西斯对德国文化的歪曲和破坏，发表《理查德·瓦格纳的苦难与伟大》的著名演讲，而被迫流亡国外，于1938年移居美国，1941年托马斯·曼举家迁往PacificPalisades（在洛杉矶/加利福尼亚附近）。加入美国国籍一事一拖再拖，直到1944年，托马斯·曼才取得了美国国籍。 |

Thomas
Mann (June 6, 1875 -- August 12, 1955) was a German
novelist and essayist.In 1924, he published the
novel Magic Mountain.In 1929, he won the Nobel Prize
for Literature.During the First World War,
imperialism was once justified for entering the war,
but in the 1930s it was strongly opposed to the
threat of fascism. Mario and the Magician (1930), a
fine novellas, was published, giving a vivid
description of the atmosphere of terror created by
fascism in Italy. Thomas Mann was the most famous German realist writer and humanist in the 20th century, influenced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.The masterpiece is the Boudenbrock Family (1901), which is regarded as the artistic epitome of the social development of Germany in the second half of the 19th century. In the 1930 election, the Nazis emerged as the party of the most popular vote.Thomas mann didn't agree with this kind of inflammatory political forces, in Berlin on October 17, 1930, Beethoven hall talking is known as the "deutsche speech", he asked whether "required by the Nazi ideals that low-level, pedigree, thought simple, heel snapped in March, naive docile, sincere passion ripples;Such a high degree of national unification can really be achieved in a mature and experienced cultural people, such as the Germans."Apart from Thomas Mann's own work, the progressive rhetoric of his brother, Henrich Mann's wife's Jewish heritage and his openly gay children were enough to make the Nazis gnash their teeth.To witness the increasing marginalization and persecution of rational intellectuals and the well-educated Young Germans followed the Nazis in burning books on the streets, and As a model of aristocratic German etiquette, Thomas Mann began to use the form of abuse.In his private letters he began to use the words "idiot", "hooligan", "disgusting clown", "miserable wretch", "the dementia of ignorance", "the vileness of slavery", and to use all the insults he could against Nazi Germany and its people."The German people are responsible for what happened," he wrote.Because they did not love freedom, but rather saw it as a form that could be completely ignored.In spite of brutal disillusionment, they will feel better and happier under the new constraints of terror than even in the republic."He saw this phenomenon, which had only the notion of the state and no man, as the decay of the intelligence and morality of a nation.He went so far as to suggest that savage Germany no longer deserved to be called a "country", but rather an "idiot field camp". In 1935, he received an honorary Doctorate from Harvard University with Albert Einstein. In 1936, Thomas Mann finally switched from private letters to public expression: "Numerous observations of humanity, morality and aesthetics have convinced me that the present German regime is not good for Germany or the world."That same year, he was stripped of his German citizenship.The Nazis also stripped Thomas Mann of the honorary doctorate he had received from the University of Bonn in 1919.He declared that he did not recognize the "inhumane ruling regime occupying German soil" in a country that "had no thoughts and yet opposed them, against all that was noble, good, decent, against freedom, truth, and justice." When Hitler came to power in 1933, he wrote articles condemning the fascist perversion and destruction of German culture and gave a famous speech entitled "The Suffering and Greatness of Richard Wagner". After that, he was forced to go into exile. In 1938, he moved to the United States.Naturalization dragged on until 1944, when Thomas Mann was granted American citizenship. |
