出世修行是這麼不堪為暏的行徑與傷痛嗎？

The first opera in the Philharmonie Berlin led by Kirill Petrenko: Giacomo Puccini’s drama Suor Angelica, which takes place in a convent and tells the moving story of a young nun. Even if the period and setting have little to do with the realities of life today, the message of the opera is more current than ever: it concerns humanity in an inhuman environment and the struggle for one’s own dignity. In this production, it is given a contemporary setting by director Nicola Hümpel and performed by up-and-coming singers, the choir of the Vocal Heroes choral programme, and the Karajan Academy.


AniDW評曰：音樂首都就是音樂首都，對於這場音樂會我有兩個感觸：這群台前首排的聲樂家們不管戲份大小，都是眼睛會發亮的明星級歌唱家。其次，這群歌唱家的肢體與戲劇上的表演都很到位，種種小表情細微動作，都說明了她們是「戲精」、「戲骨」。證實了我的老師侯俊慶教授生前的看法：音樂是八大藝術最綜合揉成的表現藝術，我們不管是在創作上還是展現上的背景準備，都要「做足」功夫，要有雄厚寬闊的「跨界涵養」。

不過新編的版本太過「鄙視」出世修行的意義與價值，太諷刺了。還有一個裝神弄鬼的問訊手勢，雖然早期有不少的德裔佛教徒因為認知差別過大而頻臨崩潰。跑去諮商的、直接住進療養的也有，但喜歡「靈修」的不盡然會成為精神分裂的幻想者。
