The Immortal Hour is an opera by English composer Rutland Boughton. Boughton adapted his own libretto from the play of the same name by Fiona MacLeod, a pseudonym of writer William Sharp. The Immortal Hour is a fairy tale or fairy opera, with a mood and theme similar to Dvořák's Rusalka and Mozart's The Magic Flute. Magic and nature spirits play important roles in the storyline. The fairy people are not mischievous, childlike sprites, but are proud and powerful: immortal demigods who are feared by mortals and who can (and do) interfere with the lives of men and women. Alternatively, the progression of Etain into the mortal realm and her pursuit and redemption by Midir have similarities with the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice.

  • The Immortal Hour est un opéra du compositeur anglais Rutland Boughton. Boughton a adapté son propre livret de la pièce du même nom de Fiona MacLeod, pseudonyme de l'écrivain William Sharp . The Immortal Hour est un , avec une ambiance et un thème similaire à Rusalka de Dvořák et à La Flûte enchantée de Mozart. Les esprits magiques de la nature jouent des rôles importants dans le scénario. Les fées ne sont pas des lutins espiègles et enfantins, mais sont fières et puissantes : des demi-dieux immortels qui sont redoutés par les mortels et qui peuvent interférer avec la vie des hommes. Par ailleurs, la progression d'Etain dans le royaume mortel et sa poursuite et sa rédemption par Midir ont des similitudes avec la légende d'Orphée et d'Eurydice . (fr)

  • 不滅の時間(英語: The Immortal Hour)はイギリスの作曲家ラトランド・ボートンによるオペラ。ボートンはウィリアム・シャープがフィオナ・マクラウドの筆名で執筆した同名の演劇を翻案して台本を執筆した。 不滅の時間はフェアリーテール・オペラであり、その曲想や主題はドヴォルザークの『ルサルカ』やモーツァルトの『魔笛』に似る。物語のプロットにおいて、魔法と自然の精霊が大きな役割を果たす。妖精の一族はいたずら好きで幼い精霊ではなく、誇り高く力強い。定命の者から恐れられ、時に男女の仲を割く不滅の半神として描かれる。エーディンが定命の者の世界に入り込み、ミディールがそれを追って取り戻そうとすることはオルフェウスとエウリュディケーの伝説との類似点がある。 この作品において、ワーグナーの音楽の主題と象徴主義へのアプローチと、アイルランドの説話『エーディンへの求婚』に基づいた音楽そのものへの、説話のケルト起源を反映した民俗音楽風の旋法へのアプローチとを組み合わせた。 (ja)
