摘要
约翰·富勒·梅特兰(John Fuller Maitland)的文章《想要一部歌剧》(Wanted - a Opera)的标题几乎可以被解读为对英国本土歌剧作品的渴望。在这篇文章中,他主张在英国建立一座由国家支持的国家歌剧院。人们认为作曲家在所谓的“英国音乐文艺复兴”时期几乎没有创作出有价值的歌剧,这已经成为一种修辞,尽管近年来的研究表明,在1900年前后的20年里,作曲家在作曲和表演方面的活动程度都有所提高。
The title of John Fuller Maitland's article ‘Wanted – An Opera’, in which he argued for the establishment in Britain of a state-supported national opera house, could almost be read as a statement of desire for an operatic work of British origin itself. The perception that composers produced little opera of value in the period of the so-called ‘British Music Renaissance’ has become a trope, despite research in recent years showing the extent of activity, both in terms of composition and performance, during the 20 years either side of 1900.
