UBess (Angel Blue) unikezela kwisilingo nge-Sportin 'Life (Frederick Ballentine).UKen Howard / uMet Opera Ibhanti enesibindi ejongene neziko laseLincoln ijongane nabaphulaphuli kubusuku bokuvula beMetropolitan Opera izolo ngokuhlwa, ebonisa umntu ophambili oyindoda wamaGershwins ’ Porgy kunye noBess njengohlobo lweqhawe.
Kwi-poster ka-Kerry James Marshall ye-graphic-style, i-Porgy enegunya ihla ngesitrato kunye no-Bess onomdla ekhwele emagxeni akhe. Okumangalisayo kukuba, ekusebenzeni ngokufanelekileyo, u-Eric Owens njenge-Porgy-kwaye, ngenxa yoko, yonke imveliso-yayiqhutywa ngu-Bess ngokuhlwa, i-soprano Angel Blue.
Akunakwenzeka ukugqiba ukuba yeyiphi inkalo yokusebenza kweBlue eyayinomdla kakhulu: ilizwi lakhe eliqaqambileyo kunye neenqaku eziphezulu ezibonakala zingenamandla (kwaye zingapheli); ubukho bayo beqonga elonwabisayo; okanye ukuthatha kwakhe ngokungahambisani nomlinganiso ophikisanayo kaBess njengentombazana yeqela, isithandwa esithembekileyo kunye neziyobisi / umlutha wesini.
Kwiphepha (nokuba kunenzuzo yomculo kaGeorge Gershwin omnandi) uBess akufuneki enze ingqiqo: isimilo sakhe sixelelwa nge-arc encinci nangaphezulu kokuqokelelwa kwe-roller-coaster swoops engadibaniyo. Kodwa ukunyaniseka kwesoprano kunye nokuzibophelela kwabopha yonke into kunye-kangangokuba, enyanisweni, emva kokuba umlinganiswa ephinda eluthulini olonwabileyo abaleke esiya kwisiXeko saseNew York, yonke eminye imidlalo yeopera yaziva ingenantandabuzo. I-Porgy (u-Eric Owens, ohleli embindini) ubulisa abemi beCatfish Row.UKen Howard / uMet Opera
Okumangalisa ngakumbi kukuba wayesebenza wonke lo mlingo ngenkxaso encinci kwinkwenkwezi yeqonga, u-Owens. I-Porgy kunye nothando lwayo olungenamiqathango kufanele ukuba lenze iziko leemvakalelo zalo mboniso (uyi-Butterfly ku-Bess's Pinkerton, ngokungathi kunjalo), kodwa i-bint-baritone yakhe kunye nokwenza izinto ezimdaka kumphazamisile kokubini kubaphulaphuli nakwindawo yokuhlala yaseCatfish Row .
Phakathi kolo luntu, nangona kunjalo, inani lezinto ezibalaseleyo zomdlalo zikhanyisile. USoprano Latonia Moore waphantse weba umboniso oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kunye neenombolo ezimbini zokumisa zikaSerena; Imincili kunye nokuqhwatywa kwezandla emva kokutswina kwakhe uMntu Wami uhambile ngoku yayiluhlobo lwe-oat ethandekayo ye-coloratura enokuphupha emva kweMad Scene eLucia di Lammermoor. Kwaye enye i-soprano, uLeah Hawkins, owabeka inqanaba lemizuzu nje embalwa njengoMfazi weStrawberry, waphumelela ngokuqhwaba izandla njengoko ipianissimo yakhe ende eyayihamba yaya kude.
Njengomrhwaphilizi onobuqhophololo kunye nomthengisi weziyobisi u-Sportin ’Life, uFrederick Ballentine wadlala indima enkulu kwi-hilt, kodwa leyo yayiyiyo, ndicinga ukuba kukungalunganga. Wadala umlingiswa osebenzayo, wokubonisa umxholo kwimeko yesiqhelo yayiyimveliso yokwenyani. Kwakhona, ngenxa yencasa yam, Ayisiyomfuneko ukuba ibeyinombolo eyomeleleyo ngokwaneleyo ukuba ayifuni kutshintshwa kude kube ngoku ngaphandle kobume njengoko i-tenor yenzayo ngobusuku bokuvula.
Okunyanzelekileyo ngakumbi yayinguAlfred Walker njengoBess 'umthandi weqela lemigulukudu, Crown, igranite bass-baritone yakhe kunye nobukho obugcweleyo obukhanyisa ubungozi. Ukusebenza kwakhe kwakomelele kangangokuba bendihlala ndizibuza ukuba kutheni yena-okanye ezinye zeemvumi ezivakalayo ezisezantsi kwi-cast-wayengathathi indawo ka-Owens kwindima ephambili.
Impumelelo enkulu yemveliso kaJames Robinson idala imeko yoluntu lwaseCatfish Row, neemvumi kunye nabadanisi bexakekile kwaye beqwalasele amanqanaba amaninzi eseti eyimicu kaMichael Yeargan. Ngaphantsi kokusebenzayo yayiliqela lezigcawu ezazifihliwe nguloo maze wokubeka iipilings kunye nomnyango wesikrini.
Ngelishwa, elona khonkco libuthathaka ngobuninzi bobusuku yayiyinto yomculo, ukusuka kuhlobo oluvunyiweyo lwenqaku ukuya kuhambo lukaDavid Robertson. Uninzi lomboniso lwalukhangeleka ngathi luyakhasa ngokuhamba kancinci de indawo yokugqibela egqithileyo apho uPorgy kunye nekwayara bacule u-Oh Lawd, Ndikho Endleleni Yam. Apha uRobertson ngequbuliso watyhiliza isinyithi kwisinyithi kwaye iOwens engathandekiyo yanyamalala ngaphambi kokuba siqonde ubuyatha obumangalisayo beli phulo lokufumana uBess.
Ke kwakhona, yeyiphi imfuno enokubizwa ngokuba bubudenge nge-Angel Blue entle njengenjongo?
