四重唱（2012）

What’s it matter now
别人的说法想法还有什么关系
what anyone says or thinks?
你说不定会很开心的
You might even enjoy it.
你是要让我出去欣赏玫瑰的芳香吗
Are you telling me to go out and smell the roses?
不 我是想让你唱歌♥
No, I’m telling you to sing.
玫瑰早就谢了 但秋菊开得正艳
The roses are long gone. But the chrysanthemums are magnificent.
你说的没错 茜茜
They certainly are, Cissy.
简 如果你同意
Jean, if you say yes,
西德里克就会把压轴给我们
Cedric will give us the finale
不然就给安妮·兰利了
instead of Anne Langley.
-安妮·兰利 -对
– Anne Langley? – Yes.
没错 她要唱维奥莱塔[茶花女]
Yes, she wanted to sing Violetta.
当然 她曾经也把维奥莱塔演得很好
And she was, of course, a very fine Violetta.
打起精神来 茜茜
Oh, pull yourself together, Cissy.
维奥莱塔是要死于肺结核的
Violetta’s supposed to be dying of tuberculosis.
听起来像是在唱《福斯塔夫》似的
She sounded as if she was singing Falstaff.
威尔第三幕喜剧
她现在要唱《托斯卡》了
Well, she’s singing Tosca now.
普契尼根据法国同名戏剧改编的三幕歌♥剧
绝对不行 除非我死
Over my dead body.
你是同意了吗
Is that a yes?
听说你终于同意在晚会上演唱了
So, you decided to sing in the gala after all.
是的 他们说服我加入四重唱了
Yes, they’ve persuaded me to join them in the quartet.
真的吗 我以为你要独唱呢 亲爱的
Really? I would’ve thought you would want to sing an aria, dear.
不 我更喜欢和朋友们一起唱
No, I prefer to sing with my friends.
现在你的高音怎么样
How are your high notes nowadays?
就是有点抖 亲爱的
Just a little shaky, dear.
我太为你遗憾了
Oh, I’m so sorry.
我当年唱吉尔达时
Now, when I sang Gilda…
对 我听说当时大获成功
Yes, I heard it was a triumph.
我还记得是我妈妈和我说的
I remember my mother telling me about it.
祝你生日快乐
Happy birthday to you
祝你生日快乐
Happy birthday to you
生日快乐 亲爱的奥克塔维亚
Happy birthday, dear Octavia
祝你生日快乐
Happy birthday to you.
说点什么 说点什么
Speech! Speech!
我当年唱吉尔达时
Now, when I play Gilda!
威尔第:《赞美你 美丽的爱神》
我的高音估计要破音了
I may crack on the high notes.
巴♥赫♥:《D小调托卡塔与赋格》
之后托马斯·比彻姆爵士
And then Sir Thomas Beecham
在英国也做了相同的事
did the same in Britain.
-所以叫比彻姆宅 -女士们
– Hence Beecham House. – Ladies?
市长女士 抱歉 谢谢你
Lady Mayor. Sorry. Thank you.
非常感谢您的光临
Thank you so much for coming.
你们好啊
Hello there.
非常好 谢谢 好 再来一张
Nice. Thank you. Yeah, one more.
市长女士 请您这边走
Lady Mayoress, will you come this way, please?
我不觉得…
Well, I don’t think that’s…
现在决定是不是太晚了
Is that going to be too late in the day for that?
比如我开场白可以说
I’d say something like
“威尔第的《弄臣》是其杰作之一
‘Verdi’s Rigoletto is a masterpiece
而这段四重唱是歌♥剧历史中的
and the quartet is one of the
重要里程碑之一”
great milestones in the history of opera.’
你看啊 太完美了
Now, look at that. Perfect.
之后我会一个个把我们几个引上台
And then I’ll introduce each of us in turn.
不 等一下 瑞吉
No, wait a minute, Reggie.
-怎么 -我要最后出场
– What? – I’ll go on last.
这个我们可以接受
I’m sure we can live with that.
当然可以 没问题
We certainly can, yes.
-我想起来了 -什么
– I remember. – What?
我得去给安妮·兰利化妆
I’ve got to do Anne Langley’s make-up.
她需要的不是化妆 而是贴糊墙纸
It’s not make-up she needs. It’s a paper-hanging job.
这话真淘气 简
That’s very naughty, Jean.
而且是实话
And very true.
紧一点 好看点
Make it nice and tight.
中间一定要勒紧 才能保持形状
Make sure the middle bit’s tight so it stays that way.
因为它最后是向右倾斜
‘Cause it ends up listing to starboard.
不 不 不 我向你保证
No, no, no. I promise you…
这个太夸张了吧 瑞吉
This too much, Reg?
你觉不觉得这个太过了
Do you think it’s too much?
不 不会 很漂亮
No, no. Lovely.
我可不觉得
Well, I don’t think it’ll work.
我觉得行
I do.

普契尼:《为艺术 为爱情》
瑞吉 记得60年代在柯芬园演出的
Hey, Reg, remember the Barber of Seville
那场《塞维利亚的理发师》吗
in the ’60s in Covent Garden?
怎么
Yeah?
和一个矮个男高音在浴缸里合作的
Who was that big, fat, mezzo-soprano
那个又大又肥的女中音是谁
who was doing it with a little tenor in the bathtub?
我突然就想到她了 她叫什么
She got suctioned in. What was her name?
我记不清了
I can’t remember.
在伦敦 想一想啊
London. Remember.
那个小不点当时都爬不出来了
The wee guy couldn’t get out!
她是意大利人
She was Italian.
