P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 298

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

“We concur in everything that has been said by our musical reporter, describing her extraordinary genius--her unrivalled combination of power and art. Nothing has been exaggerated, not an iota. Three years ago, more or less, we heard Jenny Lind on many occasions when she made the first great sensation in Europe, by her _début_ at the London Opera House. Then she was great in power--in art--in genius; now she is greater in all. We speak from experience and conviction. Then she astonished, and pleased, and fascinated the thousands of the British aristocracy; now she will fascinate, and please, and delight, and almost make mad with musical excitement, the millions of the American democracy. To-morrow night, this new sensation--this fresh movement--this excitement excelling all former excitements--will be called into existence, when she pours out the notes of _Casta Diva_, and exhibits her astonishing powers--her wonderful peculiarities, that seem more of heaven than of earth--more of a voice from eternity, than from the lips of a human being.

白话

报纸乐评人极力赞美珍妮·林德,说她天赋非凡、力量与艺术结合无人能比,三年前在伦敦就轰动欧洲,如今更胜以往。文章预言她将让美国大众为之疯狂。巴纳姆需要这种权威背书来把欧洲名气转化为美国票房。他让乐评人先看排练,用他们的专业判断制造口碑。关键不是自夸,而是让第三方说好话,并强调她比过去更出色,给观众一个必须来看的理由。

上下文

这是巴纳姆自传中引用的报纸评论,当时珍妮·林德刚到美国,巴纳姆正为她首演造势。
