从门外汉到歌剧通

网上歌剧

Opera via the internet

小琼：

近日的新冠肺炎疫情令全国不少演出场馆关闭，巡演团体纷纷取消亚洲行程，政府建议居民待在家中，歌剧和音乐爱好者也似乎因此无事可做。这是一个令人悲伤的局面。

小薇：

不知道这场公共卫生危机何时结束，但幸好我们有互联网。如今，我们不但可以在家工作，还可以随时在线播放音乐、视频，要是电脑音响设备好的话更不错。

小琼：

其实，我正要建议歌剧爱好者们多花点时间在互联网上。五年前，我就在这个专栏里推荐过“歌剧平台”网站，这是一个由欧盟提供了一半的资金的“创意欧洲项目”，参与组织包括法国德国文化电视台（ARTE）以及欧洲歌剧联盟（欧洲歌剧院及歌剧节的专业组织）。

小薇：

“歌剧平台”现已更名为“歌剧视野”，显然是为了强调它新开拓的“风景”。事实上，这项免费服务从一开始就在努力慢慢扩展。到了今天，更多的歌剧院与歌剧节参与其中：目前为止，该网络项目已涵盖了总共17个国家的29个合作伙伴。

小琼：

我发现很有意思的一点是，我们不仅是通过网页被动地“播放”歌剧，除了数百部在线演出可供观看以外，这个网站（www.operavision.eu）现在还提供很多互动游戏，以及各种鼓励新入门的歌剧爱好者（无论老幼）走进这门艺术的内容。

左、右：人们利用“歌剧视野”网站中专业且有趣的内容，足不出户就可以成为一名歌剧通

小薇：

我在网页上进入了“你是歌剧入门者吗？”栏目，找到了两个很有趣的心理测试：“你是哪个著名女高音角色？”，还有“你是哪个著名男高音角色？”

小琼：

我做了那个女高音的测试，发现自己是维奥莱塔（出自《茶花女》）！请务必试一下，真的很好玩！同一页上还有很多概述歌剧情节的短视频。甚至还有一个网页专门给老师和家长提供指导。这些富有教育意义的提示既周到又简洁，而我刚刚又发现了一个独一无二的“歌剧卡拉OK”视频！

小薇：

只需点击https://operavision.eu/en/library/aus-spass-der-freude/opera-karaoke-pa-pa-papa-pa#，你就可以跟《魔笛》当中的帕帕吉诺和帕帕吉娜一同演唱。

小琼：

要是你每天让自己沉浸在这个网站里，不出一个月你就能成为歌剧通！

Joan:

These days, when the novel coronavirus pneumonia has closed numerous public venues around the country, touring companies have decided against coming to Asia, and the government is encouraging people to stay home, what are opera and music lovers to do? This is a sad situation.

Valery:

No one knows how long this health crisis will last, but fortunately we have the internet.These days,not only can we work from home, we can also stream music and video anytime we want, especially if the computer is attached to a good sound system.

Joan:

Actually, I was going to suggest that opera lovers spend more time online.Five years ago in this column, I first recommended the Opera Platform website, a joint effort of the Creative Europe Program of the European Union (which provided half of its funding), ARTE (a French-German cultural television station) and Opera Europa (the professional association of European opera houses and festivals).

Valery:

Opera Platform has now changed its name to Opera Vision, clearly wanting to stress the new vistas that it covers.Actually, this free service has expanded quite a bit since those early days.Now there are even more opera companies and festivals participating: at this point, the web project features a total of 29 partners from 17 countries.

Joan:

What I find fascinating is that you no longer just passively “stream” an opera.Apart from hundreds of live performances that you can view, the website(www.operavision.eu) now offers many interactive games, along with incentives welcoming both young and old newcomers to the art form.

Valery:

I went online and turned to the section “New to Opera?” and found two very amusing psychological tests: “Which famous soprano character are you?” and“Which famous tenor character are you?”

Joan:

I tried the “soprano” test and found out I am Violetta (from

La Traviata

)! Please do try, it’s so much fun! On the same page are plenty of short videos that summarize opera plots.There’s even a webpage that provides guidance to teachers and parents.These educational tips are thoughtful and concise, and I just discovered an inspiring and unique “opera karaoke” video!

Valery:

If you click on https://operavision.eu/en/library/aus-spass-der-freude/opera-karaoke-pa-papa-pa-pa# you can sing along with Papageno and Papagena from

The Magic Flute

.

Joan:

All you have to do is immerse yourself in this website every day and you’ll become an opera expert in a month!
