路德维希二世和瓦格纳的新天鹅堡
新天鹅堡是建立虚幻的梦想和浪漫氛围下的城堡。站在玛利安桥上看新天鹅堡有种梦境般的感觉,但也许是被城堡主人国王路德维希二世的传奇身世影响了心情,总觉得这座美丽的城堡没有瓦格纳歌剧中的浪漫情怀。路德维希二世,那位怀才不遇又在感情上受挫的国王,最终也只能把所有的梦想寄托在瓦格纳的歌剧以及这座用来逃避现实的城堡之上了。
Neuschwanstein Castle was born of pure fantasy – a beautiful, romantic composition of towers and walls in the perfect setting of mountains and lakes. A nice view of the Castle is from the Marienbrucke Bridge, it is breath-taking. But for some reason I don’t feel the romance which is represented in Wagner’s operas. It disturbs me to hear the very unusual life story of King Louis. King Louis was a tragic character; he had too many of his own innovations built into the castle, so the whole castle reflects Louis's love and his legends.
