《音樂(lè)之聲》重回奧地利現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)美文

　　Julie Andrews played Maria in the 1965 film

　　The original stage production of The Sound of Music is to be performed for the first time in the Austrian capital, 40 years after the film was released.

　　The first full-scale theatrical production of the musical will make its debut in Vienna on Saturday.

　　Julie Andrews starred in the 1965 film version of the Rogers and Hammerstein classic set.

　　But despite being one of the most successful musicals of all time, it is barely known inside Austria.

　　The film was never shown in any cinema in Austria and was not broadcast on television until the early 1990s.

　　The musical is based on the true story of the von Trapp family who formed a singing troupe and escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938.

　　Sensitivities about Nazism during wartime Austria and issues towards the von Trapp family themselves could explain Austria"s reluctance to embrace the musical.

　　Another source of irritation for Austrians is the song Edelweiss, which is considered a traditional folk song by many filmgoers. The song was actually an invention by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

　　The production is being staged at the Viennese opera house, the Volksoper, beginning on Saturday.

　　經(jīng)典電影《音樂(lè)之聲》上映40年后，新編舞臺(tái)劇《音樂(lè)之聲》將首次在奧地利首都上演。

　　本周六(2月26日)，這部音樂(lè)電影的“完整舞臺(tái)版”將首次在維也納公映。

　　1965年，歌劇大師羅杰斯和漢默斯坦聯(lián)合創(chuàng)作了這部經(jīng)典電影，茱莉·安德魯斯出演女主角。

　　然而，盡管《音樂(lè)之聲》長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)一直被公認(rèn)為最成功的音樂(lè)電影之一，它在奧地利本國(guó)卻默默無(wú)聞。

　　這部電影從未在奧地利的任何電影院公映，直到上世紀(jì)90年代初期，才出現(xiàn)在電視屏幕上。

　　這部音樂(lè)電影背后有一個(gè)真實(shí)的故事：馮·特拉普一家組建了一個(gè)合唱團(tuán)，1938年，他們成功逃離了當(dāng)時(shí)被納粹占領(lǐng)的奧地利。

　　戰(zhàn)時(shí)的奧地利對(duì)納粹主義的敏感，加上與馮·特拉普家族有關(guān)的種種問(wèn)題可以解釋為什么奧地利人對(duì)這部電影的態(tài)度不夠熱情。

　　另一個(gè)惹惱奧地利人的原因是《雪絨花》這首歌。很多影迷認(rèn)為這是一首奧地利傳統(tǒng)民歌，事實(shí)上，這首歌是羅杰斯和漢默斯坦創(chuàng)作的。

　　從本周六開(kāi)始，這部作品將在維也納國(guó)家歌劇院上演。
