這次看這部歌劇收獲最大就是對 曆史上的西巴女王和所羅門國王的多些了解, 以前總是弄不懂, 特別是還聽到了這首西巴女王和所羅門國王的對唱, 特別是西巴女王那首 《Will the sun forget to streak 太陽會忘記畫條紋?》
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)
