Ixesha liyaphela kuVioletta (Sonya Yoncheva) noAlfredo (Michael Fabiano) e ‘La Traviata.UMarty Sohl / iMetropolitan Opera. Yinqamle kwaye uyonwabele intliziyo! Intuthumbo kunye nokonwaba kwentliziyo! Yile ndlela ulutsha olunikezelweyo uAlfredo aluchaza ngayo uvakalelo lothando kwinkundla ebonakala ngathi ayinaluvakalelo uVioletta kwisenzo sokuqala sikaVerdi La Traviata .
Kwaye, mhlawumbi kungenzeki ngokungangqinelaniyo, elo binzana lishwankathela indlela umntu amele ukuziva ngayo malunga nokuvuselelwa kwangoku kweMet kwalo msebenzi wobugcisa njengoko weva ngoLwesihlanu odlulileyo. Kuluyolo ukubona nokuva enye yezona zintle I-Traviata s kumashumi eminyaka, kodwa ixutywe nentuthumbo yokwazi ukuba indawo entle kaWilly Decker yesi siqwenga izakunyamalala eNew York ekupheleni kwale sizini, ingaze iphinde ibuye.
I-Decker's stark ithatha iNenekazi eliqhelekileyo lebali likaCamellias lisusa zombini iinkcukacha zexesha kunye neemvakalelo, kushiya ngasemva ingxelo ebuhlungu malunga nendlela umfazi ongahambelaniyo nokuziphatha ngokwesondo ecalucalulwayo kwaye ekugqibeleni abhujiswe ngusolusapho ongavumiyo.
Ngokuchasene nokuma okumangalisayo nokungathandabuzekiyo kwelitye elimhlophe elibandayo, uVioletta onothando olukhululekileyo kukuphela kombane wombala kwisinxibo esibomvu esingwevu, ejikelezwe sisihlwele samadoda agculelayo kwiituxedo ezifanayo. Ekuphakameni kokuthandwa kwakhe, wayenemingxunya esofeni enemibala enomphetho womlomo egcinwe phezulu ngabantu ababathandayo; Kamva, elahliweyo, uyawa phakathi kwinqanaba elingenanto njengoko abo bathanda kakhulu kuye bejika iintloko zabo ngokuvukela.
Iminyaka emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba esi siqendu sifike kwi-Met, yayiyinto yomnyhadala kwi-2005 ye-Salzburg Festival ejonge iqela elombane lika-Anna Netrebko kunye no-Rolando Villazón. Kodwa nalaa mabini, njengoko kubhalwe kwividiyo, awugqithisi uMet's ngoku ekhupha isoprano Sonya Yoncheva kunye nomninimzi Michael Fabiano.
U-Yoncheva udibanisa ilizwi eliqinisekileyo-isandi esihle kwaye esintsokothileyo-kunye nenqabileyo yokunyaniseka. Ukucula kwakhe kuyacaca kwaye kuyacaca, kwaye isidima seVioletta sifuna ukuhlala sigcinwa ngasemva. Kuphela xa ucinga kwakhona uye ume ukhumbule ukutyibilika kwezikali zakhe, ubukhazikhazi bamanqaku akhe aphezulu, okanye iindidi eziguquguqukayo awazizisa kwindinyana ezinengoma.
Indlela asondela ngayo kumlinganiswa yinto engathandekiyo kangangokuba ekuqaleni waziva njengempazamo. Ngokubanzi siqala ukubona uVioletta ekonwabeni, ebengezela njengoko ebulisa iindwendwe zakhe zetheko. U-Yoncheva wamkela ngolwazelelelo ngokungathandabuzekiyo, nokuba lulwimi olutyebileyo lomzimba, ngokungathi sasibambe Heroine ngasekupheleni kwe-bender. Ekugqibeleni, yonke loo nto yayisengqiqweni: inkundla, efunyaniswe inesifo sephepha esinganyangekiyo, iyenza ngabom iimvakalelo zayo.
Hayi indlela okwahluke ngayo oko kushushu okumhlophe kukaFabiano kwisithandwa sakhe esincinci u-Alfredo! Kwakhona, eyona nto siyibonayo kule ndawo luthando lwenjana, kodwa ukusuka kwindawo yokuqala yokungena-egxalathelana egumbini ngokungathi utyhalwa-uFabiano wadlala umlinganiswa njengomntu othe phithi, phantse osisitrato. (Kwangoko, uAlfredo utyhila ukuba ubukele uVioletta ekude unyaka wonke. Ukuphendula kukaYoncheva kolu luhlu lolwazi kunokuchazwa ngcono njengokugadwa.)
Ubudlelwane obukhulayo phakathi kwabo bunokuba bobothando, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo abunampilo. Emva kokuba uVioletta eshiye uAlfredo (ngezona zizathu zibalulekileyo) uye adibane naye ethekweni kwaye-ngokomthetho-aphose imali kuye. Isiteji sikaDecker sandisa lo mzuzu ukuba uAlfredo athabathe ii-banknotes ezimbalwa kwaye azityhale ngesiketi senkundla, kwi-bodice yakhe nasemlonyeni.
Ngokusisiseko, uyamdlwengula ngemali, kwaye apha uFabiano wabhabha enomsindo omnyama kangangokuba omnye woyika okomzuzwana ukhuseleko lukaYoncheva. (Wayelungile, ewe, kodwa imvakalelo yokuba nesicaphucaphu xa ebona umzimba womfazi owaphulwayo uxhonywe kwindibano egqibileyo ukwenza loo nto.)
Into engummangaliso apha kukuba ukucula kukaFabiano ukuba kukho nantoni na eyodlula ukwenza kwakhe. I-tenor yakhe sisandi esimnyama, esinemisipha kunye ne-vibrato edlamkileyo ekhawulezayo ngamaxesha eemvakalelo eziphezulu. Iziphumo ziyifrisson emsulwa, njengokuva isamba semela esitsalwe kulusu. Unokuphinda asilinganise isandi asibuyisele kwi-mezza voce, nangona kukho into eyingozi emva kwevelvet. Yintoni le ingaka ayenzayo? ungacinga njengoko wayeqala i-aria, kodwa ngenqaku lokugqibela ubuya kuyitshintsha ingqondo yakho ngokupheleleyo: Kodwa le yile nto iqhekeza lilonke. Ndingayiphosa njani ngaphambili? Ngamagama, le yayiyindlela yokutyhila.
Ndaziva ndinosizi kancinci nge-baritone uThomas Hampson njengotata ka-Alfredo uGermont, owayekhwaza kwaye ehecter kodwa enqabile ecula inqaku ubusuku bonke. Wayekwazi ukulawula, nangona kunjalo, ukugcina kunye nala magosa ngokumangalisayo, esenza umfanekiso ophazamisayo womntu ophakathi ophakathi oyikiswa kukunxibelelana nabantu.
Ngaphandle kweHampson, ekuphela kwendawo ebuthathaka yayingumqhubi uNicola Luisotti, owayebonakala ngathi uqinisa ukuqina kukaGermont ngeetempos ezilukhuni, ezingaguqukiyo kunye nemibala yeethoni engafaniyo. Yayingumsebenzi onokuthi ugqithe kwimveliso yesiqhelo ye I-Traviata , kodwa kwiindawo ezikhethekileyo ezinjalo baziva behamba ngeenyawo.
Eyona nto yenza ukuba intuthumbo ityhalele apha kukuziva ukuba uPeter Gelb's Met ngoku uyasinda kolu hlobo lwemveliso yokuthatha umngcipheko. Yintoni ebikhangeleka ngathi yenye yeembalasane zesizini ezayo, Umkhosi weSiphelo ikhokelwe nguCalixto Bieto ovusa inkanuko, iye yamiswa ngokungenammiselo, ngelixa ezinye iimveliso ezimbini, Umthetho kwaye Tosca , Ngu-David-McVicar uhlala-kodwa-moribund uhlala kwishedyuli ka-2017-2018.
Omnye wemiyalezo kaDecker I-Traviata Oko kukuthi, njengothando, ubugcisa buyingozi ngokwendalo. Sisifundo ekubonakala ukuba siye ngaphaya kwentloko yeMet.
