意大利米兰一家名为“拉·斯卡拉”的歌剧院日前已同意上演伦纳德·伯恩斯坦(Leonard Bernstein)的轻歌剧《康蒂德》,而该歌剧中一出各国“首脑”身着国旗内裤唱歌的情节受到了不小的非议。 $ `. S( ]9 Z2 u. w3 x' P, G" T# n# U' `+ v' k
据报道,该传统轻歌剧由加拿大导演罗伯特·卡尔森(Robert Carsen)指导,用全新现代的方式诠释歌剧的内容。该歌剧已在其他地方多次上演,在去年该剧在巴黎上演时达到万人空巷的效果,但是其中各国首脑着国旗内裤唱歌的插曲由于政治色彩过于浓厚,过于讽刺各国领导人,即使在意大利依然遭到禁演。 * {; T# q- i$ W, d3 @, N. g+ m% `* z: v6 v0 Z$ x# N
意大利的这家歌剧院已在去年拒绝过一次该剧的上演,无奈之下,卡尔森导演保证将会对该剧做出必要的修改:各国“首脑”仍会出演,然而将不会身着国旗内裤。$ b- s* D* ]7 e7 b H, v
