''Der junge Lord'' (''The Young Lord'') is an opera in two acts by Hans Werner Henze to a German libretto by Ingeborg Bachmann, after Wilhelm Hauff's ''Der Affe als Mensch'' (''The Ape as Man'') from ''Der Scheik von Alexandria und seine Sklaven'' (''The Sheik of Alexandria and his Slaves''). The style and plot owe much to Italian opera buffa, with the influence of Vincenzo Bellini and Gioachino Rossini noted.〔Everett Helm, ''Current Chronicle'' (''The Musical Quarterly'' 52 (1) ) (January 1966): pp. 101–106. Accessed 16 February 2008 〕 Andrew Porter has noted four distinct musical styles in the opera, corresponding to four different levels of characters:〔Andrew Porter, "Reports from Abroad: Berlin – Henze's New Opera", ''The Musical Times'', 106 (1468) (June 1965): pp. 453–55.〕 * "neo-classical" style, for the townspeople; * "neo-Straussian arioso", for Sir Edgar's entrance; * a "wilder, more erratic" style, for the traveling circus; * lyrical style, for Luise's love music. Robert Henderson has commented on the "Brechtian" nature of Bachmann and Henze's treatment of the story.〔Robert Henderson, "Music in London: Opera – ''Der junge Lord'', ''The Musical Times'', 110 (1522) (December 1969): p. 1266.〕 ==Performance history== The opera was commissioned by the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and was first performed there on 7 April 1965. The production was by Gustav Sellner, and the conductor was Christoph von Dohnányi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Der junge Lord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
