UMarnie (u-Isabel Leonard, ohleli phantsi) uyaxhalaba ebuntwaneni eMetropolitan Opera.UKen Howard / uMet Opera Kumashumi eminyaka, uAlfred Hitchcock wabalaselisa imelodrama UMarnie Wayexhotyiswe ngodumo njengeyona bhanyabhanya ifilimu iphoxayo kwiminyaka ( INew York Times ) . Kutshanje, nangona kunjalo, abanye abagxeki bebencoma umfanekiso ka-1964 njengoluhlobo lwe-opus ye-magnum opus, beyifunda njengayo nantoni na evela kwisicatshulwa se-proto-feminist yokujonga kwendoda ukuya kwisiling efihlakeleyo yobuso obucwebezelayo baseHollywood.
Nokuba yinkampu okanye ubugcisa (okanye ubugcisa benkampu), Hitch's UMarnie ihlala iyinxalenye yencoko yenkcubeko kwisiqingatha senkulungwane kwi. Ndiyoyika, nangona kunjalo, ukuba umqambi uNico Muhly uthatha le nto, weva ngolwesiHlanu ebusuku eMetropolitan Opera, uya kuphelela kwimemori ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka.
Iopera UMarnie , eyaqala ukwenziwa kwi-English National Opera ngeli xesha kulo nyaka uphelileyo, ayisekelwanga kwifilimu kodwa kwincwadi yenoveli kaWinston Graham, apho umfazi osebenzayo ethatha isazisi esitsha, ephikisana nomsebenzi, egqwetha iwaka leeponti okanye ke emva koko inyamalale. Xa, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ebanjwa, umtyholwa uyamtshata, amdlwengule aze emva koko ampakishe ukuze anciphise ukuze afike kwingcambu yokuziphatha kwakhe.

Kwinoveli kaGraham, eli bali lurid ligwele nge-dash yentsimbi: Uhambo konke malunga nokuthanda kukaMarnie ngenkqubo yenkohliso. Kodwa i-opera's verbose libretto kaNicholas Wright ijola yonke loo nto ithanda isopu yesopera iyelenqe labantu elinabalinganiswa abaninzi be-cameo kwiinguqu ezininzi zempahla onokuthi uyenze kukuzama ukukhumbula ukuba yeyiphi imvumi enxibe yeyiphi iwigi.
Ukuphumelela kukaMarnie kwenzeka ngokukhawuleza kwaye ngenxa yoko indlela ongenakukunceda ngayo kodwa ukugigitheka: emva kwemizuzu emihlanu yohlalutyo lukaFreudian sele ebona ukubuyela umva kukanina ejika amaqhinga noomatiloshe.
Lonke eli yelenqe, iyelenqe, iyelenqe lifumana uMuhly kwezona zinto zakhe zibuthathaka njengomqambi: mhlawumbi akazi ukuba ubhala njani umculo ngesenzo sedrama okanye kungenjalo mhlawumbi akakhathali. Oko sikuvayo endaweni yoko sisandi esimdaka kodwa esingabalulekanga. Iofisi ivakala ngathi kukuqhekeza kuvakala ngathi yiofisi kagqirha wezifo zengqondo, kwaye kungekudala uyaphuma nje.
Ngethamsanqa kukho izinto ezimbalwa ekufuneka zihambile nazo, umlawuli oyintloko kwimveliso eyenziwe ngesitayile kaMichael Mayer, ehamba ngokungagungqiyo ukusuka kwindawo ukuya kwindawo. Umnwe wobuchule ujikeleze uMarnie nge-quartet ye-doppelgängers ebonisa ukuba uyathandwa bubomi bakhe bangaphambili. (NoSodolophu, nangona kunjalo, ushukunyiswe ngumsebenzi ongenakwenzeka wokuzingela impungutye kwinqanaba leMet.) Isigqeba seRandy uTerry Rutland (u-Iestyn Davies, ekunene) akafanelekanga kwindawo yokusebenza UMarnie .UKen Howard / uMet Opera
Uyilo oluhle lukaJulian Crouch / uyilo olubonakalayo kwaye ikakhulu iimpahla zika-Arianne Phillips zivusa ngqo iimvakalelo eziphakamileyo zikaMarnie zehlabathi ezimngqongileyo. I-cobalt-eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka enxitywe kusuku lokuqala lomsebenzi kubonakala ngathi inika i-heroine ngamandla angaphezu kwawomntu.
Ukwenza kuka-Mezzo Isabel Leonard kunye nobukho kwindima ephambili kuya kwenza ukuba uMaria Callas azingce, nangona ukuhlaselwa kwakhe ngelizwi elinentloni kule nxalenye inde kwangqineka kungamkhohlisi. Njengomyeni wakhe kunye nomqweqwedisi uMark, u-baritone uChristopher Maltman wazabalaza ukwenza ingqiqo ethile yendima, ecula ngamandla ukuba akusoloko kumnandi.
Umphikisi onesiphiwo u-Iestyn Davies wazisa ithoni epholileyo, yokulukuhla kwi-aria encinci eyaculwa ngu-Terry, umntakwabo-gusha omnyama kaMark, njengoko ebeka u-Marnie, elinye lamaxesha ambalwa kumanqaku xa umculo kunye nemeko ephawulekayo ibonakala ngathi iyimingxunya.
Phakathi kokungangqinelani kweendawo ezixhasayo-ezoneleyo kuzo ukwenza isenzo sokuqala se Rosenkavalier -Umntu owayemi phambili yayingu-Anthony Dean Griffey, owayene-metallic tenor ebeka nje icala elifanelekileyo kwindima yesigqeba esine-lecherous.
Umqhubi uRobert Spano ugcinile ngononophelo phakathi kwe-orchestration yokugqabhuka kunye nelinye ixesha lokuthetha. (I-tessitura yomculo kaMarnie ilele iphantsi kakhulu kwimezzo kaLeonard.)
Mhlawumbi akulunganga ukuba iMet ibeke UMarnie repertory nge Intombikazi yaseNtshona , kuba i-Puccini opera phantse iklasi eyi-master kwindlela yokuseta i-talky, plot-heavy libretto. Utyelelo lokubuyela Hlangana nemvuselelo Kweli candelo ngo-Okthobha u-17 kutyhilwe zombini indibano eqinileyo kunye nokuhlaziya, ukucula ngokulula okuvela ku-Eva-Maria Westbroek.
Eyona nto yayinomtsalane apha yayingu-Jonas Kaufmann, owenza ukubonakala kwakhe okokuqala kumaxesha amane. Ilizwi lakhe lihlala likhazimla njengokukhumbula komntu, kwaye umculo uyinto entle, ukuba yinto encinci inendima enkulu kwindima yohola wendlela noRamerrez.
Ukuba bekukho ingxaki ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kukuba wayengaphili ngokuvisisana noko kwakulindelekile. Xa i-superstar ibuya emva kweminyaka esekuthinjweni, awungekhe uncede ufune amava agqithise.
Endaweni yokuba, uKaufmann wayefana nje kwaye esisuka entliziyweni…, phofu, ingaphezulu kunento onokuyithetha UMarnie .
