ABBA museum to open in Sweden阿巴合唱團在瑞典開設展覽館

A traveling ABBA exhibit is to get a permanent home in a new museum dedicated mostly to the Swedish quartet that has sold nearly 400 million records since its heyday in the 1970s.

阿巴合唱團的巡迴展,將以一座獻給這個唱片銷售量自1970年代當紅之際起,高達近4億張的瑞典4人組合的展覽館,做為永久的落腳地。

Former band member Bjoern Ulvaeus said that "ABBA The Museum" will be part of a Swedish music hall of fame to be inaugurated in Stockholm next spring.

前團員畢約恩.奧瓦爾斯表示,「阿巴展覽館」會是一座明年春天於(瑞典首都)斯德哥爾摩揭幕的瑞典音樂名人堂的一部分。

The museum will feature some of the band’s glitzy stage costumes, instruments and other mementos that were displayed in the ABBAWORLD exhibition that toured Europe and Australia in 2009-2011.

該展館的收藏品包括該合唱團誇張的舞台裝、樂器與其他曾在2009年到2011年巡迴歐洲與澳洲的「阿巴世界」展中展示過的紀念品。

Ulvaeus said he hoped all four former ABBA members would attend the opening, set for April or May, but ruled out any chance of a stage comeback.

奧瓦爾斯說,他希望阿巴的4名前團員都能出席預定明年4或5月舉行的展館開幕儀式,但排除4人有任何復出機會。

The other band members were Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. They started the band as two married couples, consistently topping charts in the English-speaking world after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo." They continued performing after both couples divorced, but drifted apart in the early ’80s. (AP)

該團其他成員是班尼.安德森、安妮塔.費爾特斯科格與安妮—弗瑞德.林斯塔德。他們在創團時是2對夫妻,自1974年在歐洲歌唱大賽中以一曲「滑鐵盧」奪冠後,持續在英語世界稱霸流行音樂榜。這2對夫妻離婚後仍持續演出,但在1980年代初漸行漸遠。
