【短信】Muti のローマでの完全復帰

アメリカ・シカゴで，心臓の鼓動のペースの乱れから失神して真正面に指揮台から落下し，顎と頬の骨の骨折の手術を経て，心臓にペースメーカーを装着したRiccardo　Muti　が，Chicago Symphony Orchestra ではなく Verdi’s “Nabucco” at Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera で完全復帰公演を飾ったようです．

聴衆の shouts of “bis!” (encore!)に答えて，ステージに上がり，聴衆にOpera chorus の一節を歌うように仕向け，Appearing full of energy, Muti said he would oblige only if the audience sang “Va’ pensiero” with a patriotic spirit. Those who knew the words did.　とアンコールにしたといいますから，完全復帰といってよいでしょう．

いずれにしても大変喜ばしいことです．

 

Muti gets audience to join in encore

ROME — It isn’t every day that a conductor asks the audience to sing an opera chorus’ encore, but Riccardo Muti did just that.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director swirled about on his podium Saturday to face the crowd during Verdi’s “Nabucco” at Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera when shouts of “bis!” (encore!) rang out.

Appearing full of energy, Muti said he would oblige only if the audience sang “Va’ pensiero” with a patriotic spirit. Those who knew the words did.
