IN CHARACTER: OPERA PORTRAITURE
Book ID/图书代码： 05793014B75679
English Summary/英文概要： In Character: Opera Portraiture memorably captures operatic performers away from the audience but fully inhabiting their roles. It showcases the work of John F. Martin, who for years set up a portable studio in the basement of the San Francisco Opera and photographed the players in costume and full makeup right before or after they took the stage. The subjects range from nonsinging supernumeraries through chorus members and comprimarii to operas greatest stars, such as Anna Netrebko, Natalie Dessay, Deborah Voigt, Juan Diego Flórez, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Their roles run the gamut of opera personalities: heroes and heroines, villains and outcasts, royalty and common folk, Biblical figures and creatures of myth. Facing Martin’s camera, each artist projects the essence of his or her character, however great or small the part.
The book also features a foreword by author Amy Tan; a preface by David Gockley, general director of the San Francisco Opera; essays on opera behind the scenes, the vital role of costumes, and the transformation of singers into characters; and an interview with world-renowned soprano Danielle de Niese. A collection unlike any other, In Character will have broad appeal to opera and theater buffs, costume and fashion aficionados, and anyone who appreciates fine art photography.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《沉浸于角色中：歌剧肖像照》捕捉了歌剧演员完全沉浸于角色时的肖像照。摄影师约翰·F·马丁多年在旧金山剧院的地下室搭建了一个简易工作室，专门拍摄换上戏服、化完妆即将登台或者刚完成表演的歌剧演员。从没有唱词的小配角，到伴唱，到著名歌剧演员都是约翰的拍摄对象。约翰拍摄过的名歌剧演员有安娜·奈特博克,娜塔莉·德希,黛博拉·沃伊特、胡安·迭戈·弗洛雷兹和迪米特· 霍夫洛斯特斯基。他们的出演角色的跨度都很大：英雄和女英雄，恶棍和流浪者、皇室和平民、圣经中的人物和神话中的生灵。面对马丁的镜头，每个艺术家都显示出了角色的本质，无论这些角色是多么重要或者微不足道。
本书由谭美恩撰写前言，大卫·高克雷、旧金山剧院的总经理撰写序言，书中还介绍了大幕背后的歌剧故事、戏服的重要性、由歌手代入角色的转换过程、以及对世界知名女高音丹妮尔·德·南希的采访。《沉浸于角色中》并不像其他的一些合集，歌剧、戏剧、服装、时尚、艺术摄影的爱好者都会非常喜欢这本书。（XAT）
