点评:I really wanted to love my experience. The artistry was great, albeit this is less of an authentic/improvised flamenco show and more of a heavily rehearsed show for tourists. So bear that in mind. I was looking to find something akin to Casa Patas from back in the day. The dancing/music is decent quality but not to that level.
Unfortunately, despite the talent of the dancers/musicians. the overall experience was very uncomfortable because of the incredibly rude behavior of some of the guests and the refusal of the hosts to do anything about it. There was a couple in the front row that had their phones out nearly the entire time. Taking video for long stretches with flash, shining a light on their food. And even shining a light on the stage, distracting performers. At one point, one of the musicians shielded his eyes from their lights. Unacceptable.
As a guest myself, I shouldn't have had to take responsibility for this at all. A host should have dealt with this without my having to get up from my seat. But I had to leave the room during the performance and report the disturbance to the host. When the host told me that flash was not aloud, I assumed she would discreetly let this couple know their behavior was against the rules. However, she did NOTHING and the rude couple continued their unacceptable behavior. It wasn't until another fed up guest had to shout in the middle of the performance, "PLEASE TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF!" that they finally stopped.
The sad thing is that all of this could have been avoided if the hosts would have made a clear announcement at the beginning and been willing to risk ruffling the feathers of a few guests that were ruining the experience for everyone else. Because they refused to do that, I can't recommend this for anyone looking to enjoy an uninterrupted flamenco performance. Next time I am in Madrid, I will be looking for a show elsewhere.
翻译:我真心希望能喜欢上这次的体验。表演的艺术性确实不错,不过这其实算不上是一场原汁原味或即兴的弗拉门戈演出,而更像是一场为游客精心排练过的演出。这一点还请各位记住。我原本期望能找到类似当年Casa Patas那样的演出。这里的舞蹈与音乐水准还算不错,但还没达到那个层次。
遗憾的是,尽管舞者和乐手们都很有才华……整体的体验极其不愉快:一些宾客的行为极其无礼,而主办方却置若罔闻、毫无作为。前排有一对夫妇几乎全程都在玩手机。他们长时间开启闪光灯拍摄视频,灯光直接照在食物上;甚至还把灯光打向舞台,干扰了表演者。有一次,一位音乐家不得不抬手遮挡眼睛以避开那些强光。这种行为实在不可容忍。
我自己也是一位宾客。我本根本不该为此负责。主持人本应在我不必离开座位的情况下处理此事。但实际上,我不得不在演出期间离开房间,向主持人汇报出现的骚乱情况。当主持人告诉我闪光灯是不允许使用的后,我以为她会私下提醒那对夫妇他们的行为违反了规定。然而,她什么也没做,那对粗鲁的夫妇依旧我行我素,继续着不可接受的行为。直到又有一位忍无可忍的观众在演出中途大喊:“请把灯关掉!”他们才终于停手。
可悲的是,如果主持人能在一开始便明确宣布相关规定,并且愿意冒着惹怒少数几名破坏他人观演体验的观众的风险,这一切本都可以避免。只因他们拒绝这么做。对于那些希望欣赏一场不间断的弗拉门戈表演的人来说,我实在不推荐这个选择。下次我再去马德里时,一定会另找其他地方观看演出。
