香港歌劇院

Established in 2003, Opera Hong Kong is a non-profit making organization committed to the mission of enhancing the appreciation of the art of opera and promoting local musical talents under the direction of Warren Mok, world-renowned Chinese tenor from Hong Kong. In addition to staging operas and concerts, education and outreach programme are also held regularly to reach the young population. Opera Hong Kong Chorus and Opera Hong Kong Children Chorus (OHKCC) were established in 2004 and 2008 respectively and are becoming recognized forces in the local choral scene.

香港歌劇院是成立於 2003 年的非牟利藝團，在 世界知名的男高音莫華倫帶領下，一直致力製 作高質素及專業的歌劇，帶給香港的觀眾，並 培養本地具潛質的音樂家。香港歌劇院亦定期 為年青一代舉辦各項教育及外展活動，把歌劇 藝術進一步推廣至社會各階層。香港歌劇院更 於 2004 年及 2008 年成立香港歌劇院合唱團及 香港歌劇院兒童合唱團，為本地合唱界注入新 的動力。

Riding on the success of the Jockey Club Opera Hong Kong Young Artist Development Programme (the Programme) which kick-offed in 2015, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has renewed the programme with Opera Hong Kong for another 3 years. The programme, accompanied by a series of outreach activities, provides intensive vocal training to 12 local young artists by Programme Director Gong Dongjian, a famous bass and an experienced vocal coach.

香港歌劇院於 2015 年推出為期三年「賽馬會香 港歌劇院青年演唱家發展計劃」，非常成功， 得到各界認同。現香港賽馬會慈善信託基金繼 續全力贊助，推出新一輪的三年培訓計劃，培 養十二位本地專業青年演唱家，並配以一連串 的外展活動。計劃總監是著名男低音龔冬健先 生，他肩負計劃發展的策劃外，更為參與計劃 的本地青年演歌唱家定期授課。

The establishment of new music centre in Wanchai has marked a milestone for the development of our Education and Outreach endeavour. A wide range of courses are being organized for early age children to adult apart from OHKCC classes. The recent national policy of developing the Greater Bay Area, with its anticipated economic and population boom, will create an even better environment for OHK to initiate more collaborations and bring opera to an even bigger audience.

新成立的灣仔音樂中心是歌劇院發展教育及外 展工作的里程碑，課程規模將更加擴大，涵蓋 幼兒至成人課程。另一方面，隨著國家積極發 展大灣區，預期將為區內城市帶來更大的商機 及人口增張，締造了更利於藝術發展的環境。 我們將把握機遇，積極與內地合作及交流，讓 歌劇藝術能發揚光大。

Mozart’s Bad Boy? 莫扎特的壞男孩？ Peter Gordon 高博德 One can make a case for Don Giovanni being the best opera ever written: music is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Lorenzo da Ponte’s punchy libretto of the classic tales of Don Juan, the legendary Spanish libertine and seducer.

The opera itself — at once dramatic, lyrical and funny — is more than 230 years young, as fresh today, surely, as the day it premiered.

Whether women or the staff, Giovanni abuses what we now call “power structures”; indeed, neither men nor the 1% come off well in the opera. The aristocratic Don Ottavio, Anna’s betrothed, talks a lot about defending her, but never does anything. Leporello will do anything if he’s paid. Masetto, the peasant groom, is a few sheaves short of a bushel.

Don Giovanni is a great romp: a dashing skirt-chasing badboy who sleeps his way around Europe; his servant and sidekick Leporello keeps a list of the hundreds — no, wait ... thousands — of conquests. He stands up for his honour, wins a duel and outsmarts those out to get him, even confronting a malevolent poltergeist who comes to dinner.

Subtleties and complexity of character are left for the women. Donna Elvira is passionate, loyal and forgiving to the end: hoping against hope, she wants to save Giovanni.

Zerlina, Masetto’s fiancée, is not nearly as naïve and gullible as she pretends. Nor is it entirely clear that the righteous Anna actually mistook Giovanni for Ottavio “in the dark”.

But this 2019 ...

Don’t worry: Mozart has this covered. Giovanni isn’t as glamorous as he appears. When the father of Donna Anna catches him in flagrante delicto, Giovanni contemptuously kills him. Worse, perhaps, he never actually succeeds in bedding anyone! So much for his vaunted prowess..

說《唐·喬望尼》為史上最佳的歌劇，未嘗不可，作品 製作陣容鼎盛，音樂出自莫扎特的手筆，劇本則由著 名的西班牙風流才子羅倫素•達•龐蒂根據唐璜的經 典故事改編而成。作品熱情、幽默又具戲劇性，在逾 二百三十年後的今天仍歷久常新。 《唐．喬望尼》是一部極熱鬧的作品。風度翩翩的壞男 孩唐·喬望尼在歐洲流浪、到處留情。在他僕人兼好友 雷波列諾為他編寫的獵艷名冊內，人數突破三位數，甚 至達數以千計。唐．喬望尼為自己的聲譽而戰，他在決 鬥中勝出，又以計謀擺脫敵人，甚至對抗懷著惡意前來 晚餐的鬼怪。 但在 2019 年⋯⋯ 不用擔心：莫扎特把以下情節收藏起來：唐．喬望尼的 所謂魅力只屬表面。當安娜的爸爸發現唐．喬望尼的醜 行後，唐．喬望尼輕蔑地把他殺了。更諷刺的是，其實 他實際上並沒有和誰發生過關係！他的風光事蹟，只是 吹噓出來而已⋯⋯

But Don Giovanni is at least true to his nature: he never backs down, even when faced with eternity in Hell.

無論是女性還是他的僕人，在現代人眼中，唐．喬望尼 都是在濫用「權力結構」；事實上，劇中所有男性和那 些富有人家都不是什麼好貨色。安娜的貴族未婚夫奧大 維歐嘴裏經常掛着要保衛未婚妻，但實質上卻沒有做過 什麼。雷波列諾只要有報酬，就會不擇手段。農家女的 新郎馬賽塔也不是什麼有用的家伙。 反觀劇中女性的性格則比較細緻、複雜。愛爾維拉熱 情、忠誠，到最後還是寬容的：她抱着一線希望要拯救 唐．喬望尼。馬賽塔的未婚妻查琳娜也不是表面的天真 無知。正義的安娜是否真的「在黑暗中」以為唐．喬望 尼是奧大維歐，也不得而知。 反觀唐．喬望尼至少忠於自己的性格：即使要終身留在 地獄，也絲毫沒有退縮。
