Aqui, toda a coleção.
Hoje é o Dia dos Namorados e não encontrei nada mais romântico e adequado à data do que o romantismo de O Mandarim Miraculoso.
O Mandarim Miraculoso é um balé pantomima de um ato composto por Béla Bartók entre 1918 e 1924, baseado numa história de Melchior Lengyel. Estreado em 1926 na Alemanha, causou grande escândalo e foi posteriormente banido por motivos morais. Após uma introdução orquestral retratando o caos da cidade grande, a ação começa em um apartamento onde moram três criminosos. Eles procuram em seus bolsos e gavetas por dinheiro, mas não encontram nenhum. Então forçam uma garota a ficar perto da janela e atrair os homens que passam. A garota começa uma dança bastante atrevida. Ela primeiro atrai um velho libertino, que faz gestos românticos cômicos. A menina pergunta: “Tem algum dinheiro?” Ele responde: “Quem precisa de dinheiro? Tudo o que importa é o amor.” Ele começa a perseguir a garota, ficando cada vez mais insistente até que os criminosos o agarram e o expulsam.
A garota volta para a janela e executa uma segunda dança. Desta vez, ela atrai um jovem tímido, que também não tem dinheiro. Ele começa a dançar com a garota. A dança fica mais apaixonada, mas o trio salta sobre ele e o expulsa também.
A garota começa a dançar novamente. Os mendigos e a garota veem uma figura bizarra na rua, que logo sobe as escadas. Os criminosos se escondem, e a figura, um mandarim (um chinês rico), fica imóvel na porta. Eles incitam a garota a atraí-lo. Ela começa outra dança picante. De repente, ele salta e abraça a garota. Eles lutam e ela escapa; ele começa a persegui-la. Os criminosos saltam sobre ele, despojam-no de seus objetos de valor e tentam sufocá-lo sob travesseiros e cobertores. No entanto, ele continua a olhar para a garota. Eles o esfaqueiam três vezes com uma espada enferrujada; ele quase cai, mas se joga novamente sobre a garota. O trio o agarra novamente e o pendura em um gancho de lâmpada. A lâmpada cai, mergulhando a sala na escuridão, e o corpo do mandarim começa a brilhar com uma luz verde-azulada assustadora. Os quatro ficam apavorados. De repente, a garota sabe o que devem fazer. Ela diz aos criminosos para soltarem o mandarim; eles obedecem. Ele pula de novo na garota, e dessa vez ela não resiste e eles se abraçam. Com o desejo do mandarim satisfeito, suas feridas começam a sangrar e ele morre.
O Príncipe de Madeira nunca alcançou a fama de O Mandarim Milagroso. A peça usa uma orquestra enorme (inclui até saxofones ). A música mostra a influência de Debussy e Richard Strauss, bem como de Wagner (a introdução ecoa o prelúdio de Das Rheingold). Um príncipe se apaixona por uma princesa, mas é impedido de alcançá-la por uma fada que faz uma floresta e um riacho anteporem-se contra ele. Para atrair a atenção da princesa, o príncipe pendura seu manto em um cajado. Coloca nele uma coroa e mechas de cabelo. A princesa avista este “príncipe de madeira” e vem dançar com ele. A fada traz o príncipe de madeira à vida e a princesa vai embora com ele, em vez do príncipe real, que se desespera. A fada fica com pena dele enquanto ele dorme, veste-o com roupas elegantes e reduz o príncipe de madeira a sem vida novamente. A princesa retorna e finalmente se une ao príncipe humano.
Feliz Dia dos Namorados!
