「帕帕基諾之歌」-選自歌劇〔魔笛〕 ~林思聰先生
Program Notes:
The “Magic Flute” was Mozart’s last opera, premiered just two months before his death. The scene was set in ancient Egypt. This folksy tune is sung by the character Papageno when he introduces himself as a happy bird-catcher who lives a simple life. Later he claims that he has killed a serpent huge snake, thereby saving the life of the Prince.
〔魔笛〕是莫札特最後一部歌劇,在他死前兩個月才首演。〔魔笛〕講及一個發生在古埃及的故事,劇中人帕帕基諾捕鳥為生,在歌曲中介紹自己,唱出低下階層的自由自在與快樂,後來他冒充是埃及王子的救命恩人,殺死襲擊王子的毒蛇。
