Thunderstorms
《雷雨》主要講述了周家和魯家，兩家人、兩代人的故事。周家的大家長周樸園是一位典型封建資本家，他為家裡的孩子們創造了良好的生活和教育條件，但是與此同時，他既封建又保守。
他的妻子繁漪則是一位追求自由與新思想的女人，她是周樸園的妻子，也是周樸園第一個兒子周萍的繼母。周樸園和繁漪婚後育有一子周衝。故事就是在這樣的一個封建家庭中展開。周萍只比繼母小六七歲，二人在壓抑、苦悶的家庭環境之中開啓了一段瘋狂、自由的禁忌之戀。
但是周萍並不是一個專一的主兒，在與自己家中的女傭魯四鳳來往了幾回之後，他轉身就移情別戀了。而他的弟弟周衝也和他一樣愛上了這個不卑不亢的女子。
繁漪在知道兄弟二人同時愛上魯四鳳之後，她氣急敗壞，一方面她不想和周萍的關係就此破裂，另一方面她也不希望自己的親生兒子周衝和一 個下人在一起。所以她便叫上了魯四鳳的母親魯侍萍把女兒帶走。
可是，她不知道的是，魯侍萍的身份不僅僅是下人的母親這麼簡單。在魯侍萍去到周家的那一天，周樸園也在家，在一番對話“拉扯”中，眾 人知道了魯侍萍原來就是周萍的親生母親。
她在懷孕並生下了周萍之後被周樸園狠心拋棄，後來嫁給了魯貴，並生下了孩子魯大海和魯四鳳。也就是說，周萍和魯四鳳實際上是同母異父的親兄妹。可如今，他們二人卻在不知情的情況下，愛上了對方。
在吹散了前程往事上的灰塵之後，魯侍萍準備將魯四鳳帶走，但是卻意外地得知四鳳竟懷了周萍的孩子，周萍竟也想帶著四風不管不顧地離開。周萍的繼母繁漪這下慌亂了，她也像發了瘋似的將自己和周萍之間的事抖落了出來。就這樣在一場雷雨之夜，老一代的秘密和年輕一代的秘密，被悉數公然於眾。
最後，故事在一片轟隆的雷聲之中走向了最悲慘的結局……

Hong Kong Sinfonietta: Welcome to the New World
Associate Conductor : Vivian Ip
A heart-to-heart talk between Smetana and Dvořák – the giants of Czech music
on the occasion of Smetana’s 200th birthday celebration and Czech Year of Music
We remember Smetana and Dvořák as two of the best-known Czech composers today – probably because of Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Smetana’s My Fatherland. But we know much less of Dvořák and Smetana as we do other composers of the day. Today, through “live” conversations between the two composers, and possibly with the audience, we will be able to find out more about these men behind the music, especially of Dvořák, whose New World Symphony will be analysed as well as performed.
We let the composers introduce and speak for themselves about their lives and work… and let you into their world. “Which train did you take to come to this concert? I want to know the model number.” This could be how a typical conversation with Dvořák started, especially with his students. Now who would have guessed that Dvořák was a train fanatic!
Come and find out more about the composers and enjoy a concert with activities and information!
Programme
Smetana
My Fatherland: The Moldau
Dvořák
Symphony No 9 in E minor, Op 95, “From the New World”
