Korean opera star in New Zealand for major role

[The Australian, July 2006]

“...a talent of auspicious promise.” [The Sydney Morning Herald, July 2006]


Dongwon Shin


Dongwon Shin在奥克兰20日首场演出后谢幕

Tenor Dongwon Shin, a native of Seoul, Korea, is a young singer to keep a watchful eye on.

Recently Dongwon Shin made a dramatic debut with Opera Australia, stepping into a complex production of Turandot at three days’ notice to replace an ailing Calaf, and receiving both public and critical acclaim for his performances. He had performed the role a year earlier in 2005, for Santa Fe Opera.

Now Dongwon Shin comes to New Zealand to perform the role of Calaf in The NBR New Zealand Opera’s Genesis Energy Spring Season of Turandot.

“I like the role of Calaf very much,” Mr Shin says. “I particularly enjoy the beautiful arias he sings, such as Nessun dorma. Pavarotti is one of my favourite opera stars and from his singing I have learnt very much, so it is always wonderful to perform this aria and I thank him for making it so popular. But the first aria Calaf sings, Non piangere liu, is also a highlight for me. It makes me very happy and grateful to be an opera singer when I perform these arias as I know the audience loves to hear them as well.”

Dongwon Shin made his professional operatic debut in February 2005, in a similar vein to his Opera Australia debut. With 24 hours’ notice he stepped into the role of Radames in Aida with Opera Company of Philadelphia. He says “At the time it was nerve-wracking, but also very exciting to be making my operatic debut. I do look back on it now though and cannot imagine how I did it!”

Prior to this Mr Shin distinguished himself as someone to watch in a number of prominent international competitions, including first in 2003 and audience favourite in 2001 in the Giargiari Bel Canto Competition, grand prize and conductor/director’s award in the 2003 Annapolis Opera Competition, and a National Finalist in the 2003 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Upcoming engagements include the title role in Otello with Opera Australia, Radames in Aida with the Savonlinna Festival, Manrico in Il trovatore with Toledo Opera and Nashville Opera, and Calaf in Turandot with Palm Beach Opera and Fort Worth Opera.

The Genesis Energy Spring Season of Turandot, originally directed by Christopher Alden for Welsh National Opera, is sung in Italian with English surtitles. It opens in Auckland on Thursday 20 September and in Wellington on Saturday 13 October.

附:《图兰朵紫禁城版》介绍

《图兰朵》是在历史背景深远,气势磅礡的我们中国的北京紫禁城太庙隆重登场。这出歌剧由名导演张艺谋,名指挥大师祖宾梅塔连决合作。

这部3幕歌剧据意大利剧作家戈齐(CarloGozzi,1720—1806)的5幕同名寓言剧,由阿达米(Giuseppe Adami)与席莫尼(Renato Simoni)撰脚本,作于1921—1924年,逝世前仅完成第三幕前半部分,后半部分由阿法诺续成。其故事素材似乎取自17世纪末介绍到欧洲的波斯《仙女之箱》。此剧1926年4月5日在斯卡拉歌剧院首演,指挥为托斯卡尼尼,首演之夜,剧情到第三幕柳儿自刎时,托斯卡尼尼放下指挥棒对听众说:“就在这里,普契尼放下了笔。”全剧首演为次日。这部歌剧的3幕为:第一幕,北京紫禁城前。持续的行板,表示图兰朵的动机。黄昏,广场上的各式人听官吏宣读布告,布告上说,图兰朵公主将下嫁给猜中3道谜底的人,如果猜不中就会被斩首。波斯王子因猜不中,月亮出来时即被处以极刑。人们骚动着,向皇宫拥去。人群中丫环柳儿(Liu)搀扶着鞑靼逊王铁木尔(Timur),当柳儿哀求旁人帮着扶起被挤倒的铁木尔时,铁木尔儿子卡拉富与父亲相见。周围百姓被驱散,传来刽子手要行刑的叫声,铁木尔称柳儿无微不至地照顾他,柳儿称“我一直无法忘记王子的笑容”,表示她内心的爱慕。刽子手磨斧子,高唱《上油,磨利斧子》,即将被处刑的追求者高喊“图兰朵,冷酷的美人”。在东方氛围中,描述死刑的执行,合唱告终后,刽子手退场,众人在广场上仰望夜空,唱《月亮怎么还不出来》。月亮出来后,众人合唱《月亮出来了》,远方传来童声合唱《在东方山顶上有鹳鸟在歌唱》,其旋律取自中国民歌《茉莉花》。在月光下押到刑场的波斯王子脸色苍白,大众合唱“可怜的年轻人,请公主赦免”,卡拉富则诅咒冷酷的公主。在月光下,图兰朵上场,众人跪下,她默默拒绝大众的请求。卡拉富被公主美貌倾倒,忘我地自语:“美如天仙,宛如梦境。”众人都下场后,只剩下帕木尔、柳儿和卡拉富,卡拉富念叨着图兰朵,想跑到城墙边去敲锣,决心参加猜谜。3位大臣平(Ping)、彭(Pong)与潘(Pang)带着面具出场,忠告说:“你想干什么,快转身,否则生命难保。”3人说:“美丽的公主也不过是一张脸两只手两只脚的女人。”侍女要大家安静,因为公主在休息。3位大臣告诉卡拉富:3个谜是无法解开的,最好快快回去。卡拉富表示:“只有我才是她的恋人。”帕木尔悲哀地对他说:“你想遗弃年老的父亲吗?”哭泣的柳儿则唱咏叹调《请听我说,王子》(Signore,ascolta),哀求王子不要去冒险。卡拉富被感动,唱咏叹调《柳儿别哭》(Non Piangere,Liu),一边安慰柳儿,一边表示坚定的决心。卡拉富不顾大家劝阻,跑到墙下大喊3声图兰朵的名字,尽管柳儿等高喊“死亡”,他还是用力敲了3声锣,以示求婚。乐队奏图兰朵主题,高官称一切都完了,帕木尔与柳儿为之哭泣。

第二幕第一场,幕间剧。大帷幕上有各种装饰,平、彭、潘3人各带随从上场,平唱《命运的铜锣在圣殿响起》,3人唱中国风味的三重唱,他们计算为破谜处死的已有13人,反对参与这残酷的游戏。后面又传出《磨利斧子》的合唱,3位大臣哇庆祝婚礼的《为她铺上柔软的被子》,据说此旋律采自中国皇帝去寺庙礼佛时的音乐。喧闹起,3人说又有人要被斩首,以进行曲节奏换场。第二场,皇宫前广场。8位官员拿着写着图兰朵谜题与答案的案卷,众人交头接耳,3位大臣也上场,年老的皇帝坐在最高层宝座上。卡拉富站在阶下,帕木尔与柳儿则在围观群众中,百姓跪伏在地,齐声赞颂皇帝。皇帝劝说卡拉富取消求婚,卡拉富拒绝。进行曲声中,侍女们在台阶上撒下鲜花,台后传来童声之歌,图兰朵登场。她微视卡拉富后,以威严的口气唱咏吧调《过去的故事》(In questa Reggia),叙述她祖母遭入侵的鞑靼人俘虏凌辱后悲惨地死去,说她是为了替祖母报仇,才以这主意使外来的求婚者赴死。她说,没有人能占有她,冷酷地唱:“外邦人试试看,谜题有3个,死亡只有一次。”卡拉富也回答:“谜题有3个,死亡只有一个。”猜谜开始,第一个谜题是“在黑暗中,幻影如彩虹飞舞”。公主说:“这幻影是人人梦寐以求的,它为了在每个人心中苏醒,便在每一个晚上诞生,在清晨死亡。”卡拉富回答:“希望。”官员打开答案,表示正确。图兰朵走到台阶中段,说出第二个谜语:“像火焰非火焰,失去了生命就会冷却,梦见征服就会复燃,颜色如夕阳艳红,声音清晰可闻。”卡拉富想了一会儿答:“一见到公主双眼就燃烧、苦恼的是热血。”答案正确,大家欢呼。公主愤怒地走下台阶,第三道题是:“冰冷给你火焰,从火焰中得到更冷的冰。若盼望自由就成奴隶,想当奴隶却变成国王。”卡拉富脸色苍白地陷入沉思,图兰朵逼问,一会儿卡拉富跳起来说:“而今胜利属于我,我的火焰会使冰融化,那就是图兰朵!”群众庆贺合唱,欢呼谜已被彻底解开。图兰朵跪在皇帝前说,“请不要把清纯的处女交给陌生人”,又面对卡拉富说:“我不会成为你的!”皇帝却说誓言是神圣的,众人呼应。卡拉富说,“刁蛮的公主啊,我真心爱你。”他对图兰朵说,解除婚约只有在天亮前回答一个问题,说出他的名字。众人歌颂皇恩,送他入宫。

第三幕第一场,皇宫内庭。夜,卡拉富听着远处传来“谁能不准睡觉”的声音,唱著名的咏叹调《无人入眠》(Nessun dorma),他坚信黎明一到,胜利就会属于他。平、彭、潘上场,把一个美女推给卡拉富,美女向卡拉富献媚。3个官吏又以财物诱惑,见美女与贿赂都不发生作用,对卡拉富说:“如查不出你的名字,我们都会被杀死,请你快离开这里。”卡拉富坚持“我的希望是图兰朵”,大家拔剑指向他,想逼他说出名字。这时舞台后传来“我们知道了”的喊声,士兵把帕木尔和柳儿押上来,图兰朵登场。图兰朵一声令下,先审帕木尔,柳儿挺身而出说,只有我知道他的名字卡拉富想去救柳儿,反被逮捕,柳儿当着卡拉富的面被拷打,图兰朵问她为什么不愿说出名字,她说“这是爱情的力量”。柳儿唱《隐藏在心里的爱比痛苦更坚强》(Tanto amore segreto),她对图兰朵说,我沉默地把他的爱给你,我虽然会失去一切,但这是心爱者最珍贵的礼物。这时大众叫道“杀头,杀头!”刽子手出现,柳儿唱咏叹调《公主你冰冷的心》(Tu che di gel sei cinta),她说公主你懂得爱后,冰冷的心就会被热情的火焰融化。趁卫兵不注意,她拔剑自刎,普契尼原作到此为止。续完的内容是,帕木尔靠在柳儿尸体边痛哭,送葬的队伍远去后,卡拉富与图兰朵的二重唱。卡拉富扯去图兰朵的面纱,说冰冷的公主,你应看看这为你而流的热血。图兰朵表示,即使面纱拿掉,我的心仍在天上。卡拉富强行亲吻,图兰朵自语:“我究竟怎么了?我输了?”她的心终于融化,流下了眼泪。台后传来优美的歌声,人们庆贺黎明来临,卡拉富的爱情诞生,图兰朵唱咏叹调《泪水盈眶》。卡拉富说:“今天公主已属于我,我要把名字和生命都献给你,我是鞑靼王子卡拉富。”图兰朵拉着他的手走向大众等待的广场。第二场,皇宫前广场。早晨,在进行曲下,皇帝坐上宝座,大众高呼万岁。图兰朵与卡拉富上场,图兰朵说,“父亲,我已知道了这个年轻人的名字,他的名字叫作爱。”卡拉富与图兰朵拥抱在一起,群众高唱“太阳,生命,愿一切永远”的合唱祝贺他们幸福,剧终。
