劇院建筑

編譯：季嘉葵

英國劇場技師協會(Association of British Theatre Technicians， 簡 稱 ABTT， 成 立 于 1961 年 ) 于 1972 年制作了第一部劇院設計和規劃指南。在1986 年修訂后，成為任何涉及劇院建筑、裝修或者創造一個表現空間的標準參考。2010 年由該組織出版、朱迪思·斯特朗（Judith Strong）編輯的《劇院建筑設計指南》（Theatre Buildings: A Design Guide）一書，是其繼承者。

這本書使讀者了解了劇院的規劃和設計的全過程。它在建筑物的每一個區域都有詳細的注解，包括房子前面、禮堂、后臺和行政辦公區域。它聚焦于一些具體的指導，比如音響、舞臺工程、燈光、聲音和視頻，禮堂和舞臺的尺寸等等。餐飲、會議和教育使用等方面也包括在內。書中涵蓋了28 座劇院的案例，《歌劇》雜志將編譯其中精彩的個案，與業界共同分享。

劇院建筑設計指南之韋克斯福德歌劇院

Wexford Opera Theatre from Theatre Buildings: A Design Guide

愛爾蘭韋克斯福德

Wexford, Ireland

韋克斯福德一年一度的歌劇節始于1951 年，如今已被視為愛爾蘭文化生活的組成部分，吸引著來自世界各地的游客。歌劇節原來的舉辦地是前皇家劇院，這是一個傳統的19 世紀劇院，盡管經過一系列翻新整修，但維護和運營變得越來越困難。2000 年，人們決定在同一地點建造一個新建筑替代原有的，并將其擴建到可用的相鄰土地上。

Wexford’s Annual Opera Festival, first established in 1951, is now seen as an integral part of the cultural

主觀眾席

life of Ireland and attracts visitors from around the world. Its original home was the former Theatre Royal, a traditional nineteenth-century theatre which,despite a series of refurbishments, had become increasingly difficult to maintain and operate. In 2000,the decision was taken to build a replacement on the same site, extending onto adjacent land which had become available.

這一規劃的結果是為歌劇節設計了一座新建筑，該建筑也成為一個全年可用的藝術場所，可容納韋克斯福德音樂節的其他作品，這座較大的建筑

Building cost

€33 million in 2008.已經成功地融入了韋克斯福德中世紀中心的歷史建筑群中。

The result is a new building designed for the Opera Festival which also provides a year-round arts venue housing other Wexford Festival productions and this larger building has been successfully integrated into the historic fabric of Wexford’s medieval centre.

主入口刻意低調——一排修復過的排屋建筑中的一個簡單門口，將劇院主建筑隱藏于街上。劇院的規模，以及銅質覆蓋的塔樓，只有在穿過老城區的斯萊尼河的遠岸才能看出來。

從斯萊尼河對岸看到的劇院景色

The main entrance is deliberately understated- a simple doorway in a row of reinstated terraced buildings hiding the main building from the street.The scale of the theatre, with its copper-clad flytower,is only apparent from the far bank of the River Slaney which runs through the old town.

進入劇院時，觀眾會穿過一個獨立的票房區，進入一個有頂棚的中庭，從那里有一個寬闊的樓梯通向四樓，直達樓頂，可以在上面看到老城區和河口的景色。主觀眾席采用傳統的馬蹄形格局。舞臺可以通過一系列的升降來適應不同尺寸的樂池，或者為戲劇和舞蹈提供一個可選擇的臺口。配有全套的飛控設施。后臺區域包括為導演、指揮家、設計主創和歌者們提供的設施；以及更衣室、合唱排練室和道具制作區。

On entering, theatergoers are led through a discrete box office area into a top-lit atrium from where a wide stairway leads up through four storeys to the top of the building, revealing views of the old town and estuary. The main auditorium follows the traditional horseshoe format. The stage can be adapted through a series of lifts to accommodate an orchestra pit of varying dimensions or an optional forestage for drama and dance. Full flying facilities are provided. The back stage area includes provision for directors, conductors, designers and singers; aswell as dressing rooms, chorus rehearsal rooms and prop making.

想要將這一系列劇院設施安裝到緊湊的市中心場地，需要設計和建造一系列零部件，然后在現場進行組裝，從劇院最里面的角落開始，一直延伸到更臨街的區域。

Fitting this range of accommodation into the tight town centre site involved designing and constructing a series of component parts which were then assembled on site, starting with the most landlocked corner and working through to the more accessible areas.
