堅強不屈的 “蝴蝶夫人” -- 我的聲樂老師瑪麗婭

堅強不屈的 “蝴蝶夫人” -- 我的聲樂老師瑪麗婭

-- Pellegrini 歌劇公司本周末將上演《蝴蝶夫人》

我的聲樂老師瑪麗婭•佩蕾格麗妮(Diva Maria Pellegrini)是被譽為加拿大的“卡拉斯”的著名女高音歌劇演唱家。她年紀比較大了，除了在蒙特利爾的麥吉爾大學教授歌劇大師班之外，自己的學生和朋友們也都加入了她自己的Pellegrini歌劇公司每年上一部歌劇，去年是莫紮特的歌劇《Cosi Fan Tutte》，今年四月十八日將在加拿大首都渥太華上演音樂會版本的普契尼的意大利歌劇《蝴蝶夫人》全劇。

可惜，我離得太遠，就不能前去為恩師捧場了。隻能通過電話和網絡，送上我的祝福，複活節時也讓孩子們向他們親愛的教母送去問候與祝福。

我們去年秋季在加拿大演出時和老師在一起吃飯，相見時老師的嘴角和手一直在顫抖 著，我以為她是見到教子女太激動了。曾幾何時，光彩照人的歌劇女皇一下子變得老了，我們緊緊地相擁抱在一起，熱淚盈眶。。。當時，她說過，是別人給她做按摩時按錯了神經，最近，我才知道她實際上是得了帕金森氏病(Parkinsonós Disease) ，目前，世界上還沒有找到治療痊愈的方法，隻能靠藥物控製。可是，堅強不屈的 “蝴蝶夫人”依然教課，排戲她不能飾演全劇了，就請人來演, 她做藝術總監，瑪麗婭 的一生就是“為藝術，為愛情”。我為她的敬業精神所感動。我們年輕，健康，我們是多麽幸福的人 哪！我們沒有任何理由，不珍惜所擁有的一切，不努力為自己的夢想而奮鬥。。。
