这次看这部歌剧收获最大就是对 历史上的西巴女王和所罗门国王的多些了解, 以前总是弄不懂, 特别是还听到了这首西巴女王和所罗门国王的对唱, 特别是西巴女王那首 《Will the sun forget to streak 太阳会忘记画条纹?》
Queen of Sheba:
Will the sun forget to streak Eastern skies with amber ray, When the dusky shades to break He unbars the gates of day? Then demand if Sheba's queen E'er can banish from her thought All the splendour she has seen, All the knowledge thou hast taught.
Libretto attributed to Newburg Hamilton (1691-1761)
Performed here by Karina Gauvin and Tempo Rubato (Alexander Weimann, director)
