《歌剧魅影》导演哈罗德·普林斯去世，享年91岁

Harold “Hal” Prince, the producer and director behind many of American theater’s greatest musicals, died Wednesday. He was 91.

哈罗德·“哈尔”·普林斯于周三去世，他是美国许多伟大音乐剧的制作人和导演，享年91岁。

Prince’s publicist said he passed away after a brief illness while in Reykjavik, Iceland.

普林斯的经纪人说，他在冰岛雷克雅未克短暂患病后去世。

The Broadway impresario — known for helping bring the world “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Cabaret,” “West Side Story,” “Company,” “Sweeney Todd” and “The Phantom of the Opera” — was mourned by ­titans of theater.

这位百老汇的经理——以帮助世界带来《屋顶上的小提琴手》、《歌舞表演》、《西区故事》、《公司》、《理发师陶德》和《歌剧魅影》而闻名——收到了戏剧界巨头们的哀悼。

“Farewell, Hal,” said collaborator Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“再见了，哈尔。”合作者安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯表示。

“Not just the prince of musicals, the crowned head who directed two of the greatest productions of my career, ‘Evita’ and ‘Phantom.’ This wonderful man taught me so much and his mastery of musical theater was without equal.”

“他不仅是音乐剧界的王子，还是我演艺生涯中最伟大的两部作品《埃维塔》和《魅影》的导演。这个了不起的人教会了我很多东西，他对音乐剧的掌握是无与伦比的。”

Broadway theaters — and those on London’s West End — dimmed their lights in his memory Wednesday evening.

周三晚上，百老汇剧院和伦敦西区的剧院都调暗了灯光，以纪念这位伟大的导演。

“To be both a genius and a gentleman is rare and extraordinary,” said Thomas Schumacher, chairman of The Broadway League.

百老汇联盟主席托马斯·舒马赫评价他说：“既能成为天才，又能成为绅士，这是罕见而非凡的。”

In a career that spanned seven decades and netted him 21 Tony Awards — more than any other individual — Prince had a hand in just about everything.

在长达70年的演艺生涯中，普林斯获得了21项托尼奖——比其他任何人都多——他几乎参与了所有的事情。

Prince’s family will honor his life with a party — rather than a funeral.

普林斯的家人将为他举办一个聚会，而不是葬礼来纪念他的一生。

“As per his wishes, there will be no funeral but there will be a celebration of his life this fall with the people he loved most, the members of the theatrical community that he was a part of for seven decades,” a rep said.

一位代表说:“按照他的意愿，今年秋天不会举行葬礼，但会和他最爱的人，也就是他70年来一直参与的戏剧界的成员，一起庆祝他的一生。”
