“意外的”专业歌剧迷The accidental opera lover—andprofessional小琼:我们知道,一场歌剧除了舞台上的演员和乐池里的乐队,还要依靠许多人在幕后确保演出顺利进行。小薇:有时一场进展顺利的演出会让我们忘记幕后那些为了确保舞台布景道具服装不出纰漏地出现在正确的场景和位置而付出巨大精力的人们。小琼:过去几周我在纽约百老汇的一家剧院工作,在那儿结识了一位朋友,爱德华·迪亚兹。他从1966年大都会歌剧院落户林肯中心起就是大都会歌剧院的木匠。 Little Joan: We know that in addition to the actors on stage and the orchestra in the orchestra, we know that an opera needs many people behind the scenes to ensure that the show is going well. Vivian: Sometimes a well-performed show will make us forget the behind-the-scenes people who devote so much energy to making sure the stage set costumes appear in the right context and location. JJ: I’ve been working at a Broadway theater in New York for the past few weeks, where I met a friend, Edward Diaz. He has been a carpenter at the Metropolitan Opera since 1966 when he settled in the Lincoln Center at the Metropolitan Opera House.
