愛爾蘭作家王爾德 (Oscar Wilde) 的長篇小說《格雷的畫像》情節懸疑，其優美文句與驚悚轉折令無數讀者著迷稱奇。法國作家勒胡 (Gaston Leroux) 則融合新聞紀實和偵探筆法，以巴黎歌劇院為背景寫出《歌劇魅影》，其同名音樂劇更成為暢銷經典。這兩部小說都引用了不少音樂作品，後者更和歌劇舞台密不可分，究竟作者用意為何，提到的樂曲能否對應情節？歡迎大家和我們一起猜謎解題，讀小說也聽音樂！

Irish playwright Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and French author Gaston Leroux’s Le Fantôme de l’Opéra are set to a musical backbone, with extensive cues of Romantic repertoires in-between scenes and sequences. In this lecture-recital, we will reimagine the authors’ intentions and explore the aesthetic interactions between literature and music. As we revisit the literary classics, let us also hear the music between the lines!
