氣質滿分的一晚
早在九月 在22大師帶領與大推下 四個人訂了AIDA的musical ticket
在22大推特推之下 我們買了49.5的票(三種價位裡最高價的票)
位子還不錯 row J seat 238 很中間 沒有視野上的死角
(位置圖來源)這部歌舞秀在the Overture Center for the Arts上演
Overture這一年剛改建完畢 算是capital附近屬一屬二現代感設計十足的建築物
該中心目的在於提供community一個世界級高水準藝術中心與相關服務
不只有劇團與樂團演出 還有距教育性質的工作坊與藝術展覽
一直到明年 還有好多好秀好表演--->有cats 和mamma mia喔!!!
開演前 我和22和Fanpi去逛精品店
媽呀 東西超讚 超有設計感和藝術感
看到很多新奇的設計 有藝術品也有日常用品
對藝術還蠻了解的Fanpi一看就知道哪個設計師 哪個是紐約作品
我聽得很開心 感覺又學了不少東西
日常用品方面 印象最深的是
超想買一顆掛在耶誕樹上的琉璃球 好美喔 粉色透明玻璃燒製而成 可是一個要22元耶!!!(這是那裡的平價品)
還有很可愛的文具 一隻正方形的豬 捲捲的尾巴拉出來是量尺耶~~~好好玩 這不會很貴
也有設計感十足的明信片/卡片 一張3元多 算很合理
還有很多很有趣走極簡後現代風格的裝飾品 都好想帶回家~~~
對平民學生不合理的 是藝術品
一個琉璃貝殼裡一顆琉璃珠 要價5100
一個不知道什麼東西 琉璃製品 要價6100
一個看起來可以燉砂鍋魚頭的民族風砂鍋 要價3500
不過全都很賞心悅目!!!!
可以花很多時間在這間不算大的精品店裡晃晃
會很有收穫的!! 不過也要小心看緊錢包喔!!
(我總有預感 會去買那些可愛的小裝飾品)
當晚是AIDA在M上演的第一晚
人潮呢 算多吧
開演前許多老公公老婆婆們 穿著蠻正式的服裝 拿著雞尾酒在等候大廳聊天
年輕人不算多說.....
(當晚對面的小電影院也有秀上演 年輕人似乎都跑去那了)
表演過程中當然不能照像 不過開演前是可以滴(開演前會有播音要求禁止照相)
一旁的老美閃光燈閃個不停 我很識相的關上閃光 只是想照照舞台
這張照片故意拍斜的 想照出這廳的樓層分配
其實往前拍是這樣
我們坐的位置算很正中央
(logo 來源 Disney官網)回歸主題 AIDA
此秀主要是在陳述一段仇恨年代裡永世不變的愛情故事
故事情節發生在尼羅河沿岸 不該相戀的戀人最後步上來生再續前緣一途
原本是威爾第的古典歌劇 現在上演的版本多是迪士尼版
由Elton John改編音樂與 Tim Rice填詞 Robert Falls 執導
故事一開始場景 一個現代埃及博物館展覽室
當一對陌生男女四目相對時 時間靜止 古埃及女法老Amneris突然復活
唱著 "every story is a love story"哀愁的 緩緩的 將時間帶回古埃及
AIDA是女主角的名字 埃及鄰邦小國Nubia的公主
被埃及軍隊captain Radames俘虜 雖然打扮作奴隸樣 captain卻莫名奇妙被Aida吸引
將她送給公主Amneris做貼身僕人
Amneris和Captain是青梅竹馬 原本要結婚
卻因Aida的介入 兩國的戰爭 慢慢由青澀頑皮的公主 體會到愛情的酸甜苦辣 而逐漸成長
Aida和Amneris雖是主僕關係 卻成為好友 掙扎於肩負人民希望與愛情與友情 選擇面對最真實的自己
Captain活在父親的控制與埃及皇室的期待下 最後選擇愛情
故事中有快樂有幽默有悲傷有心痛
其中我最喜歡的歌是"A step too far"
由三位主角一起演唱 唱出三人對於彼此之間複雜情感的糾葛心情
故事最後悲劇收場 (嗚 我最不喜歡悲劇結尾了)
Aida和Captain戀情被發現 雙雙被賜死
公主仁心大發和父王求情 讓他倆不能同日生也要同日死 最後讓他們一起活埋
這時場內啜泣聲四起 很多窸窸窣窣吸鼻子聲
我隔壁那高大的年輕女孩兒 哭到不斷拭淚哭泣聲差點都隱藏不住
.....我也忍不住眼框泛紅
這一幕真的無敵感人
故事回到博物館
Amneris的靈魂望著陌生男女的相遇 似乎放下的千古愿憾 似乎也在期待一段命終注定的真愛來臨
結束
well.......
愛情故事 並不是我很愛的題材
不過整齣musical的音樂與舞蹈很讚 謝幕時每個演員出來
真的會忍不住站起來用力鼓掌!!!
尤其是Aida!!!這位女演員唱工特佳 中氣十足
把一位擁有高貴氣質追求理想愛情的小國公主演得唱得淋漓盡致
當晚是M城最近最神奇的天氣轉換(前一天白天18度C 隔天早晨變成零下大風雪)
走在異常寒冷的街上 內心卻很澎湃
回到家還不斷哼著"A step too far" 回想著故事裡的每一個情結 整個就是沉浸在其中呀~~~
對我來說 這不大算悲劇 因為最後最後 一段新的感情在前世祝福下開始萌芽 算是"喜"的收場
不過受於舞台限制 (當天舞台算是小舞台 我看秀雖然看沒幾次 倒也還沒看過這麼小的)
演員舞蹈部份似乎無法全力發揮 跳起來有點綁手綁腳 有幾場舞蹈還差點撞到
算是個小缺憾
另外 從22那拿到了AIDA的音樂
但是 嗚嗚 我不會轉成mp3檔 所以blog上沒辦法放出我最愛的A step too far
雖然lovewool也是我很愛的一首歌 但感覺總是怪怪的 很不搭......(轉檔問題這兩天勢必解決!!)
更新---耶 音樂放上去了~~雖然聽起來DISNEY/ELTON JONE感覺太重 不過倒是很容易朗朗上口
寫到這才發現 過去看過秀的什麼的 一篇東西都沒寫!!
ㄜㄜ 好吧 有時間來寫blueman show好了......................(心虛...時間在哪裡)
以下是介紹AIDA故事的好站
搭配故事情節與歌曲 有興趣的可以看看
a Lyrics
The Egyptian wing of a modern art museum, where a man and a woman touring the exhibit catch each other's eyes. Amneris, a female Pharaoh, comes to life (EVERY STORY IS A LOVE STORY) and transports us to ancient Egypt, where Radames, Captain of the Egyptian army, is returning from an expedition through the land of Nubia, Egypt's long-time enemy (FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE). When his soldiers capture a group of Nubian women, he finds himself captivated by the fierce and majestic Aida (THE PAST IS ANOTHER LAND).
Brought to Egypt as a slave, Aida is saved from certain death in the copper mines by Radames, who sends her as a handmaiden to Princess Amneris, his betrothed. Radames' father, Prime Minister Zoser, greets his son with news that Pharaoh is dying and Radames must prepare to become the next ruler of Egypt (ANOTHER PYRAMID). Radames' Nubian servant, Mereb, is a young man who has learned the tricks of survival in Egypt. Delivering Aida to the palace, he recognizes her as the daughter of the Nubian King (HOW I KNOW YOU). She commands him to keep her identity secret , lest the Egyptians kill her. Presented to Amneris, Aida perceives that the Princess' love of fashion (MY STRONGEST SUIT) only serves as a mask for her insecurities.
At a banquet Pharaoh announces that Radames and Amneris will wed in seven days, leaving the Captain distraught that his days as an explorer have ended. Together, he and Aida share their dreams and regrets (ENCHANTMENT PASSING THROUGH). Later that night, Amneris worries about her father's illness and finds Aida someone who understands and encourages her (MY STRONGEST SUIT - REPRISE). Bursting into his fiancee's chamber, Radames steals a moment with Aida to share his growing attraction to her.
Taken by Mereb to the Nubian camp, Aida submits to her people's pleas to lead them (DANCE OF THE ROBE). Later, Radames finds Aida and declares his love for her (ELABORATE LIVES). Unable to fight her feelings any longer, she falls into his embrace. Their bliss is interrupted by news that Radames' armies have captured Amonsaro, King of Nubia and Aida's father. Unable to comfort her, Radames leaves Aida in distress. Rallying her dispirited people, Aida assure them that Nubia will never die (THE GODS LOVE NUBIA).
Aida, Amneris and Radames now find themselves entangled in conflicted loyalties and emotions (A STEP TOO FAR). Aida and Mereb bribe their way into Amonsaro's prison cell, where she is reunited with her father. Mereb hatches a plan to escape with the King during the commotion of Amneris' wedding. To save her father and nation, Aida must betray the man she loves (EASY AS LIFE). Zoser discovers Radames' affair and warns his son that it could cost him the throne, but Radames no longer shares his father's ambitions (LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON). Zoser orders his men to find Aida and kill her.
At the Nubian camp, Aida receives an apology from Radames (RADAMES' LETETR) for the thoughtless way he acted upon hearing of Amonsaro's capture. When Egyptian soldiers arrive seeking Aida, Nehebka sacrifices herself so her Princess can live. Now even more determined to leave Radames forever, Aida goes to say good-bye to him over Mereb's objections (HOW I KNOW YOU - REPRISE). Radames informs Aida that he's calling off the wedding. She knows this would ruin her father's escape, and tells him he must go through with it (WRITTEN IN THE STARS). Radames agrees, on condition that she escape to freedom on a boat he will provide. The heartbroken lovers part, but Amneris has overheard their entire conversation and faces the fact that her upcoming marriage is a sham (I KNOW THE TRUTH). News of Amonsaro's escape disrupts Amneris' wedding.
Radames learns the truth of Aida's identity when he arrives at the docks just as she is about to board his boat with her father. In the chaos, Zoser slays Mereb and Radames makes possible Amonsaro's escape. Then he and Aida are arrested for treason. At the ensuing trial, Pharaoh sentences both Aida and Radames to be buried alive beneath the sands of Egypt. Amneris rises to her role as future Pharaoh by convincing her father to let the lovers die in the same tomb, an act of mercy for two people she has come to love. Facing death, Aida looks to Radames for strength (ELABORATE LIVES - REPRISE). As they are slowly deprived of light and air (ENCHANTMENT PASSING THROUGH), Radames swears he will search for a hundred lifetimes to find her again.
Back in the contemporary museum, the spirit of Amneris watches (EVERY STORY IS A LOVE STORY - REPRISE) as the modern man and woman are strangely drawn to one another. They are the reincarnations of Aida and Radames, finding in each other a new beginning.
