小琼：这个月，我们来谈谈我1990年代在纽约读书时的一位老朋友。我还记得我很久之前在大都会歌剧院的一次观剧经历，看的正是田浩江参演的弗朗哥·泽菲雷利执导的《图兰朵》，在舞台上他饰演帖木儿。

小薇：在这里我们也要向伟大的泽菲雷利表示敬意，他在上个月与世长辞。而田浩江这位男低音仍活跃于国际舞台上，6月中旬，他在洛杉矶及纽约参演了唐建平作曲的歌剧《鉴真东渡》。

小琼：田浩江的歌剧生涯确实很国际化。在我印象里，当西方歌剧在国内普及以后，他也是第一批回归国内舞台的歌剧明星。

小薇：其实我们也应感谢他对中国原创新歌剧的热忱支持。除了最近的《鉴真东渡》，我记得他还于2007年演出过歌剧《诗人李白》。

小琼：田浩江不单单是该剧世界首演中的剧名主角，更是促进这部歌剧诞生的头号人物——这部郭文景作曲的90分钟独幕歌剧当年在科罗拉多州山区的中央城歌剧院举行了世界首演。当时，想要在国内搬演《诗人李白》可不简单。（要知道，那时候北京国家大剧院还没启用！）

Joan:This month, I’m going to talk about an old friend, tracing back to the 1990s when I was a student in New York! One of the early experiences at the Metropolitan Opera was Tian Haojiang’s appearance in Franco Zeffirelli’sTurandotas Timur.

Valery:On that note, we should also pay tribute to the great Zeffirelli, who died last month.Tian, though,is still an active bass-baritone on the international stage, having performed in Tang Jianping’sVoyage to the Eastin Los Angeles and New York in mid-June.

Joan:Indeed, Tian’s operatic life has been truly international.I also remember he was among the first stars to return to China when Western opera became more established.

Valery:Actually, we must also credit him for starring in new operas.Apart from the recentVoyage to the East, I remember him inPoet Li Baifrom 2007.

Joan:He not only played the title role in the world premiere, but actually spearheaded the opera’s creation.Guo Wenjing’s 90-minute one-act had its world premiere in Central City Opera, in the Colorado mountains.To bringPoet Li Baiback to China was no small feat then (remember, that was before the National Centre for the Performing Arts opened!).

小薇：国内外的许多年轻歌手也很感激田浩江及他的夫人廖英华博士所组织的“iSing!国际青年歌唱家艺术节”。该项目目前定期在苏州举办。

小琼：这对夫妇的盛情款待为许多年轻歌手提供了精神与艺术的家园。我也有幸参加了好几次他们在家中举行的派对。……
