法国音乐剧《巴黎圣母院》

http://www.tudou.com/playlist/id/974385/
这部在1998年首演的音乐剧,估计是李小葱最喜爱的音乐剧了,忍不住在这大吼一声。
 
这是一部融入了大量流行音乐元素的音乐剧,区别于一般传统音乐剧,它现代它摇滚它重旋律它情节性强,没有那么多的古典美声,每首歌都堪称经典流行,据说音乐作者用了20年去写它润色它,不知是真是假。它的配器用的是吉他贝司等,基本上没有交响乐的东西。可是这丝毫不影响它的感染力,华丽的音乐,炫目的舞蹈,主演性感的嗓音,首首经典!整部音乐剧有贯穿始终的主旋律,刚开始听就会发现音乐中有迷人的波西米亚风情。如果非要说什么不完美的话,李小葱觉得是整部剧最后部分的音乐(Esmeralda被抓到牢中后)让我感受到了一种恐慌与压迫,旋律开始有不确定性,主旋律被打破,舞蹈也越来越纷繁,没有很好的突出重点,而且悲剧的凄惨美木有了。但是但是瑕不掩瑜,它还是最好的音乐剧!

这是原版的几位主演,现在都换人了,可是他们所演的版本在网上久久流传着,我脑中的印象也还是他们几个。
他们当时都是法国流行音乐界的当红歌手,诗人Gringoire演员是位著名的摇滚歌手,他的表演被广为称赞。神父Frollo则是李小葱最爱的!演的很好,成功的演出了内心的压抑,让我觉得他反而是最可悲最值得同情最值得爱的一个人,因为他痛苦最大他最爱Esmeralda吧,而他不能算一个坏人,他的那一切的手段,只不过是为了战胜自已忘掉Esmeralda而已。记得有一段是他看着Esmeralda在月下静坐梳头,神父独唱出对她的期待和内心的矛盾,音调越来越高,反映了灵魂中越来越大的痛苦挣扎,但是乐曲的终了又回归中音,显示热情又一次被压抑下来,因为他是一位副主教。金属的高音,磁性性感的中音与动作与眼神,演的天衣无缝!恕我词穷!我觉得这个角色是最需要演技的,后来的版本的演员长的太年轻,觉得他再演不出来原版那么好的了。
 
最喜欢的场景也是最著名的场景,《美人》(《Belle》),位于整部音乐剧的中场休息之前,是一场合唱,Esmeralda坐在场前端中间,先是Quasimodo吟诵Esmeralda的美貌与对她的向往,然后是Frollo演唱同一段,然后是Phoebus,同样的旋律,都唱得各有特色,最后是三个人合唱,Frollo唱低音合声。三个男主角分站在舞台的左中右,不同的歌词,显示他们对于Esmeralda爱的不同层次,Quasimodo是向往,Frollo是人性的弱点,Phoebus是大胆的情爱,意义不同,相同的是歌声中的那种撕心裂肺的爱的感觉。用心听他们唱,我也不经为他们感动叹息。

据说当初它首演时就震撼了整个欧洲艺术届,第一次就在巴黎就连演了126场,是法国有史以来最成功的音乐剧。而李小葱也是第一次看就被震了,是在五六年前在北大的日子,我至今都觉得它是最好的音乐剧,个人觉得比《猫》好很多,(猫的fans不要砸偶,我实在不喜欢猫的造型),比芝加哥(也很爱),红磨坊也要好。一个10年以前的音乐剧现在看来还是非常的现代流行,很难得。如今,它反复翻新换人场景越来越好,但是音乐不变,因为太完美了。永远珍藏着,不时翻出来,不时被感动。

Dear friends,
 
As you may know, a severe earthquake hit my home country in the afternoon of May 12th, 2008 (local time). Up to now, more than 12,000 people were killed and this number is keeping increasing... Townships were buried under landslides; schools and hospital buildings collapsed and thousands of students and patients were buried; millions of people got injured and lost their homes. The troop and emergency teams are exerting to rescue people that remain buried and injured, despite the heavy rain and disrupted traffic that hampered the rescue work greatly.
 
In case you want to donate to help the people there, some organizations that accept donations are listed below. Your generous support will assist the relief work, and help the people rebuild their lives.
 
1> American Red Cross has set up China Earthquake Fund. You can donate by phone (800-435-7669). Please indicate China Earthquake. Online donation is NOT available now.
2> Red Cross China accepts online donation using visa card. However their website is in Chinese. But you may also donate through Tsinghua Alumni (http://tsinghuafoundation.org/earthquake08/index.html). They accept PayPal and wired transfer and they will transfer the donations to Red Cross China promptly.
3> Hong Kong Red Cross also has China Earthquake Fund, and it accepted visa/mastercard donations(https://www.redcross.org.hk/donation/user_donation.asp).
 
I think 2> or 3> should be the most efficient ways but I am not sure whether they are tax exempt (probably not).
 
大家circulate出去吧。
国内现在都很难去到灾区,捐点钱也能有帮助!
