作为一项全市公众参与项目，《一英里歌剧》邀请了1千名来自纽约各地的歌者于2018年10月3日～8日，在高线公园进行免费演出。

The Mile-Long Opera,a citywide public engagement project,brings together 1,000 singers from across New York for free performances on the High Line,October 3 -8,2018.

该表演由DS+R建筑事务所的建筑师和获得普利策奖的作曲家大卫·朗(David Lang)共同创作，著名诗人安妮·卡森 (Anne Carson)和克劳迪娅·兰金 (Claudia Rankine)作词谱曲。《一英里歌剧：七点钟传记》是一部有主题立志、集体创作的自由合唱作品，讲述了在数百名纽约人在这座快速变化的城市中亲身经历的个人故事。

Co-created by architects Diller Scofidio+Renfro and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang,with words and lyrics by acclaimed poets Anne Carson and Claudia Rankine,The Mile-Long Opera:a biography of 7 o’clock is an ambitious,collective,free choral work that shares personal stories from hundreds of New Yorkers about life in our rapidly changing city.

伊丽莎白·迪勒 (Elizabeth Diller) 曾评论说：“高线公园设计完成十年并见证周围环境快速变化后，我对这座城市的生命周期进行了许多思考，包括它的衰败与重生、无处不在的机遇与冲突。这种情况是一次难得的机会，可以借此对当代城市变化节奏、当地居民生活进行创造性反思。公园本身将会是一个横跨30个街区的、可供沉浸式表演的舞台。观众可自由走动，演员分散表演。而这座城市将既是这场赞美城市多元化的演出的主角又是歌剧舞台的背景。

Elizabeth Diller commented,“After working on the design of the High Line for over a decade and witnessing the rapid transformation of the surrounding area,I thought a lot about the life cycle of the city—its decay and rebirth—full of opportunities and contradictions.This vantage presented an opportunity for creative reflection about the speed of change of the contemporary city and the stories of its inhabitants.The park will be a 30-block-long urban stage for an immersive performance in which the audience will be mobile,the performers will be distributed,and the city will be both protagonist and backdrop for a collective experience celebrating our diversity.”

作品主要讲述傍晚7点钟对于纽约人的意义变化，每晚表演也在这个时间开始。此时白天向夜晚过渡，人们也从一项活动向下一项活动转移。传统意义上，这一时段意味着家人团聚、平静安稳与家庭温馨。然而现如今，这种意味变得越来越淡。《一英里歌剧》讲述了各种各样的故事，源于真人真事采访，涉及纽约人生活的方方面面。这些人的各自经历，折射出其应对当代生活环境不同的反应，有人焦虑、有人幽默、有人怀旧、有人脆弱、有人快乐，有人愤怒，汇聚在一起，创造出《一英里歌剧：七点钟传记》。

The work focuses on the changing meaning of 7:00 pm,the time the performance begins each evening,and a time that represents a transition from day to night,when people shift from one activity to the next.It is also a time traditionally associated with family,stability and home,yet today,those associations are less predictable.The diverse stories told in The Mile-Long Opera are inspired by first-hand interviews with New Yorkers from all walks of life.Their individual experiences reflect unique ways of coping with the contemporary condition—anxiety,humor,nostalgia,vulnerability,joy,and outrage—that together form a biography of 7 o’clock.

高线公园是纽约市最具活力的公共空间之一，置身其中游客可一览生活百态。《一英里歌剧》演出时，观众可沿公园行走，于歌者之间自由穿梭。

Set in one of the most dynamic public spaces for observing New York City and its multitude of intersecting lives,The Mile-Long Opera invites audiences to move in and out of groups of singers as they walk along the High Line.

该作品本质上是一项广泛性社区参与倡议，旨在盘活纽约五大区各大非盈利性文化组织。七锚合作伙伴（Seven Anchor Partners）主要负责吸引当地观众，包括歌者招募、组织并接待公众参与公开排练与研讨会以及为10月份演出进行社交与文化活动宣传。

At the heart of the work is an extensive community engagement initiative that activates nonprofit cultural organizations across all five boroughs.Seven Anchor Partners serve as a hub for engaging local audiences—from recruiting singers,to holding and welcoming the public for open rehearsals and workshops,to hosting social and cultural events in the lead-up to the October performances.
