Les Miserables

2008/07/03

從劍橋回來的晚上, 我們安排的行程是前往皇后戲院看歌劇悲慘世界(Les Miserables)。


檢視較大的地圖





由於是第一次聽歌劇, 因此買的是最便宜的票, 坐在最後一排。心想, 如果覺得好聽, 以後有機會再買前面一點的票, 漸入佳境的感覺總是比較能接受。

Do You Hear the People Sing? [Lyrics]


這齣歌劇真的很好看, 音樂更是好聽, 散場後, 大廳擠滿了買紀念品的民眾, 我也買了有許多彩色劇照的節目表, 還有十週年紀念音樂會 DVD 和原版音樂 CD, 讓我們待在倫敦的最後一個夜晚感到非常地滿足。

YouTube 有許多關於 Les Miserables 的十週年紀念音樂會的影片, 可以讓沒有看過這齣偉大歌劇的人先睹為快。底下這段則是Do You Hear The People Sing? 的片段。

Do You Hear The People Sing?

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
