因为准备过冬一直盖着羽绒被早上被热醒的第N天。白天听说外面很热于是在家睡觉，晚上出门还是感受到了暑气，天空的云彩好像也被烤化了只有薄薄一层。其实和六月在北京天天40度比起来还是很凉快的😂 #英国夏天 #伦敦日记

庆祝明天就是周五，庆祝夏天回光返照，庆祝又多活了一天。

【prom 61】又到了周五下班的治愈时间，虽然这周只上了四天班，但是感觉也好累。欧洲第一个以黑人及多元文化背景为主体的古典乐团，曲目也从头到尾都很正统古典，听到了海顿贝多芬也有英美两位同名不同姓的黑人作曲家（美国Coleridge-Taylor的名字是从英国Coleridge-Taylor来的，而第一位的名字是从同名诗人来的…）
乐团演奏还是很优雅丝滑的，但是这位小号独奏实在是…一言难尽…

Experience the electric atmosphere of a Chineke! Prom first-hand, as Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra returns to the Royal Albert Hall with Beethoven’s joyful Fourth Symphony and Haydn’s exuberant Trumpet Concerto.

On a mission to champion change and celebrate diversity in classical music, Chineke! also showcases music by pioneering Black British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and his American namesake, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson. Plus there’s an opportunity to hear Valerie Coleman’s pandemic anthem, Seven O’Clock Shout.

【PROM 57】FANTASY, MYTHS AND LEGENDS
长周末假期连续四天打卡挑战的最后一天！因为节目涉及作品之多引来各种电影电视游戏粉丝大战，当日站票和昨天一样难抢（还好我已经抢出了经验基本上比较有保障）

文案宣传带流量的久石让代表作只有龙猫四分钟，我非常非常不满意！指环王十分钟还算够本，另外还有权游 好兆头 哈利波特 魔兽世界 星球大战 加上奇幻主题的一些古典名作。

An evening of orchestral fantasy and adventure featuring classic soundtracks from film, television and gaming’s greatest myths and legends.

The BBC Concert Orchestra and conductor Anna-Maria Helsing recreate a host of classic fantasy soundtracks from film, TV and gaming – including music from the Harry Potter films and, marking the 50th anniversary of J. R. R. Tolkien’s death, Lord of the Rings; TV’s Game of Thrones and His Dark Materials, and Studio Ghibli’s popular animations.

【PROM 56】RAH长周末假期连续打卡第三天，也是Simon Rattle老师告别LSO的盛大演出。座位早早售罄，站票也是早上一开票就抢光了，简直万人空巷送指挥……但是马勒九我就真的没啥感觉。幸好我昨天看到有人铺野餐垫受到启发今天带了坐垫在顶楼贫民区坐得舒舒服服。还有人躺下听呢，如果能自带褥子应该比我更舒服（门口安检怕是要疯了

In Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, the composer – who would not live to hear its premiere – bid ‘farewell to all whom he loved’. The words ‘Leb’ wohl!’ (‘farewell’) are written onto the score itself, transformed into a theme that becomes the heartbeat of the whole work.

It’s a poignant choice for Sir Simon Rattle’s final UK performance as Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra. Death and life collide in a symphony haunted by loss but urgently clinging to dance and song. The finale, however, looks beyond, closing with a vision of distant hills where the sun is shining.

Opening the Prom is Poulenc’s choral masterpiece Figure humaine, a hymn to freedom from occupied France, performed by the BBC Singers.

【PROM 55】RAH长周末假期连续打卡第二天，也是波士顿交响第二场。今夜适合跳舞。

Dance pulses through this second concert from Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra (see Prom 52). Jean-Yves Thibaudet is the soloist in Gershwin’s Piano Concerto, with its bluesy slow movement and hot, frenzied finale.

Ravel’s La valse dances to the edge of the abyss, while Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka projects the earthy rhythms and bold colours of Russian folk music. The concert opens with the European premiere of US composer Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances, drawing on dances that chart the Black American experience from slavery through to today.

PROGRAMME
Carlos Simon Four Black American Dances 12’
European premiere
Stravinsky Petrushka (1947 version) 34’

Interval

Gershwin Piano Concerto in F major 31’

【PROM 52】RAH长周末假期连续打卡第一天！因为是我世界第二喜爱的波士顿交响所以精心挑选了最后排中间的位置，又舒适又省钱还能靠墙闭眼陶醉（睡觉）
波士顿交响还是那么棒，stella冠名酒吧里打的stella也不错

The mighty Boston Symphony Orchestra returns to the Proms under Music Director Andris Nelsons for the first of two concerts – human resilience the theme.

‘I conceived of it as glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit,’ Prokofiev wrote of his Fifth Symphony, premiered in January 1945 at the start of the USSR’s successful final offensive against Nazi Germany. The defiant optimism of the finale is mirrored in Richard Strauss’s tone-poem Death and Transfiguration, in which a dying man gains a musical glimpse of eternity.

Jointly commissioned by the BSO and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, of which Nelsons is also Music Director, Julia Adolphe’s Makeshift Castle offers a contemporary meditation on fragility and endurance.

周六中午来到海底捞我大为震撼，不但门外没人排队，大厅里面也几乎没人…真是伦敦海底捞开业以来我见过最冷清的一天…我记得去年12月冒雪过来还人满为患呢！而且今年中国游客也能来了，经济还是差到了这种程度吗…还是因为大家都出门度假去了 #伦敦日记 #吃在英国

大英博物馆家贼案的一些更新报道…前几天我和艺术界朋友见面还聊起策展人都工资很低是不是都要靠自己的家底…这就曝出工作了三十年的老策展人偷走文物挂到ebay…（来源：The Telegraph）#伦敦日记

2023.8.9 St James Church Piccadilly London 菊池亮太钢琴演奏会
#伦敦日记 #教堂打卡

我又来围观学习文化输出成果了…这次是日本基金会请了二次元网红视频管主来弹钢琴，不卖票也不抽票，就发了个网站免费领票，几百票大概半天就领完了。曲目从英日经典影视到动漫名曲，现场群众从白发老基友到优雅和服阿姨到拖家带口小娃娃，反正就是看个热闹。

这个教堂因为位置过于中心，以前大约路过了无数次，但是今天第一次进来。虽然三百多年历史的建筑维护得很好，但是音效实在一言难尽，回音实在太大了。

今日菜场大黑樱桃市价：一公斤四镑。刚刚病好了也要大补VC，巩固一下成果！

本次感冒在几天内迅速康复的两大功臣（当然也有多躺平多吃饭的功劳）#伦敦日记

这几天有点虚弱无力就在家办公，今天下班前和上司/下属开个视频会，大家一脸生无可恋地讲完工作，正准备互道周末快乐，上司突然笑着说她明天要和一大群人去看《芭比》，我马上起死回生说我已经看过太好看啦！然后我们一起给我下属小妹安利一定要去看！然后大家就在轻松愉快的气氛中结束了一周的工作🥳🥳
顺便祝贺上映不到一星期全球票房轻松突破五亿美元🎉🎉
#伦敦日记 #看电影

伦敦今年夏天限定上演的音乐剧<Crazy for You>，Gillian Lynne Theatre（西区第一家以女性命名的剧院）
受保加利亚小姐姐邀请前排观看，舞蹈和喜剧表演真的精彩，但是离舞台实在太近了每次看到群舞姑娘们白花花的大腿我都感觉呼吸困难（凭什么男的都能穿得整整齐齐），剧情就很狗血，无论男的女的都是见一个爱一个为了爱情要死要活那些事儿，我只能纯粹从舞台表演角度欣赏。

新工作第一天：我是谁？我在哪？？我要干啥？？？救命🆘
一早上跑到IT无数次才把新电脑搞好，印度裔工程师看我一脸崩溃生无可恋的表情安慰我说：“其实我也刚来第二个星期，适应新公司花两个月时间都是很正常的，你才第一天别着急哦。”
谢谢，有被安慰到…
