旧金山歌剧院《费加罗的婚礼》开演：台上的未婚夫妻是台下的一对真夫妻
位于美国加利福尼亚州旧金山市的战争纪念歌剧院（War Memorial Opera House），旧金山歌剧院（San Francisco Opera）第104个秋季乐季剧目莫扎特《费加罗的婚礼》已于10月31日开演，将持续演出至11月29日，全剧长约3小时45分，含两次幕间休息。
这版制作出自已故导演迈克尔·卡瓦纳（Michael Cavanagh），2019年首演，是他「莫扎特—达·蓬特三部曲」的第一部，故事场景被搬到美国建国初年的一座庄园；本轮由肖娜·卢西（Shawna Lucey）担任复排导演。德国指挥家塞巴斯蒂安·魏格勒（Sebastian Weigle）此番首次登上旧金山歌剧院的指挥台，合唱指导为约翰·基恩（John Keene）。
阵容里有一段佳话：饰演费加罗的男中音彼得·凯尔纳（Peter Kellner）是首次登上该院舞台，饰演苏珊娜的女高音斯拉芙卡·扎梅奇尼科娃（Slávka Zámečníková）与他演一对未婚夫妻，而两人在生活中正是夫妻。奥利维亚·史密斯（Olivia Smith）首次饰演伯爵夫人，托马斯·莫尔（Thomas Mole）饰伯爵，毛里齐奥·穆拉罗（Maurizio Muraro）等参演。
本轮票价30美元起。11月7日晚7时30分的一场将在歌剧院官网付费直播，票价25美元，演出后48小时内可点播回看。每场开演前55分钟，剧院荣休编剧基普·克兰纳博士（Dr. Clifford 'Kip' Cranna）将作20分钟演前讲解。
San Francisco Opera's 'Marriage of Figaro' Opens: The Onstage Betrothed Are Married in Real Life
San Francisco Opera opened Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro' on October 31 at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, California, as part of its 104th fall season. The production runs through November 29; the opera lasts about 3 hours 45 minutes with two intermissions.
The staging is the late Michael Cavanagh's 2019 production — the first part of his Mozart–Da Ponte trilogy — which sets the story in a manor house in the early years of the American republic. Shawna Lucey directs the revival. German conductor Sebastian Weigle makes his company debut on the podium; John Keene is chorus director.
The casting carries a real-life twist: bass-baritone Peter Kellner, making his company debut as Figaro, and soprano Slávka Zámečníková as Susanna play an engaged couple onstage — and are married to each other offstage. Olivia Smith makes her role debut as the Countess, with Thomas Mole as the Count and Maurizio Muraro among the cast.
Tickets start at $30. The November 7 performance at 7:30 p.m. PT will be livestreamed on the company's website for $25, with on-demand access for 48 hours. Dramaturg Emeritus Dr. Clifford 'Kip' Cranna gives a 20-minute pre-show talk 55 minutes before each performance.
