该剧取材于世界瞩目的1972年尼克松访华的破冰之旅,1978年在休斯顿首演后广受欢迎,被评为20世纪后半页最重要的歌剧作品之一,此次在纽约演出,将再掀中美关系旋风。与此同时,与林肯中心隔街相望的一家中餐馆“顺利园”应林肯中心的要求,按当年中国总理周恩来款待美国尼克松总统的国宴菜谱,烹调6桌菜肴,慰劳60位当年随尼克松总统访华的人员和随行的新闻工作者。看到当年品尝过的精美菜肴,这些现在已步入老年的人士发出了惊叹,举杯庆贺西方的歌剧艺术与中国的饮食文化飘香林肯中心。

It’s hard to believe that “Nixon in China,” John Adams and Alice Goodman’s four-hour opera inspired by Richard Nixon’s diplomatic trip to China in 1972, is only now making its Metropolitan Opera debut — about 25 years after it first premiered in Houston.csuchen.de; O/ M$ R* P* R1 d8 @- Z

Fittingly enough, Peter Sellars’ production essentially re-creates the original staging, complete with Mark Morris’ dance choreography. James Maddalena, who originated the role of Nixon, is still playing the president.
