The core figures recognized by the opera industry as being able to guarantee the box office and the enthusiasm of the audience on the opera stage are the only five giants in history.

Mozart bore the brunt of the play, Wagner and Verdi played, Puccini and Strauss were behind.

It's like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it's a law.

Although it has never been explicitly stated, it is the tacit approval of experts and opera fans across all eras.

The reason why these 'Big Five' stand out from the crowd is naturally because their opera creations are significantly higher than other opera writers in terms of quantity and quality.

Among them, Mozart is particularly prominent, almost decathlon, he can bring his genius creative thinking to the extreme in almost all fields of classical music, whether it is music or script.

There should be no controversy about this.

And among Mozart's operas, "The Marriage of Figaro" is the least controversial masterpiece.

"At least in terms of the choice of works, this conductor is clever. David Sri Lanka made a simple note on the scoresheet.

The reason for this is that Figaro clearly has the main elements of an opera, a good scripting foundation, an excellent dramatic structure, and most importantly -

"Music quality. ”

As a stage manager, you can not rehearse Figaro's operas, but you will inevitably rehearse Figaro's symphonies.

"If you haven't been in the business, you're not a good conductor, no matter what position you're in. ”

Kempall, chief conductor of the Naples Symphony Orchestra, spoke highly of the musical fragments on the stage at this time.

Judges with different identities naturally look at the stage from different angles, David looks at the angle of the topic, and Kempal looks at the quality of the music.

But no matter how you look at it, Chuanyin presents a high-quality opera stage.

A twenty-minute play is nothing now, but in Mozart's time, when Xiang told the emperor that the scene would take twenty minutes, all the court musicians and ministers present were shocked to lose their wigs.

In their opinion, without discussing the issues of class and 'first night power' in the play, it doesn't take that long to just 'tell the story of a manservant "Figaro" and a maid who are in love, and with a little cleverness, they foil the aristocratic lord's plot to take possession of the maid's first night'.

"It's totally insulting to the audience. —Salieri's servant.

So to perfectly interpret this plot in 20 minutes is indeed a test for a team.

It seems like a simple scene, but it is not.

However, the conductor skillfully used the music to accentuate the atmosphere of the stage, and the vivid performances and singing of the two main actors, the male and female servants, still succeeded in moving all the audience present.

When the man who played the aristocratic lord knelt down and faced the audience's unwilling chant: "Tonight you all come to Figaro's wedding!!"

The music goes out.

Under the applause, the participants bowed and took a curtain call.

"Not bad. ”

Qin Jian applauded, "What do you think?"

Ning Qianxia on the side shook his head, "It's okay, the performance is in place, and the singing is average, especially Figaro, who doesn't sing as well as the one who plays the earl." ”

Qin Jian's mouth pursed, "You have the final say on this, I don't understand." ”

With the withdrawal of the first participating team, the Shen Yin teacher and student team who was drawn to the second performance took over the stage.

Uncle Mo withdrew, and Wagner waited for the stage.

Even a layman like Qin Jian had to sweat for the stage, and Shen Yin's team had never participated in any rehearsals before that, which led to no one knowing what repertoire they were preparing.

Even Ning Qianxia was a little excited, the "Ring" that lasted for several hours in the whole play could not be said to be an epic masterpiece, just like its full name "The Ring of the Nibelungen - Ragnarok".

The participating group chose the most classic clips of the whole play.

Act II – Valkyrie excerpt

The half-siblings fall behind in the family road, meet on a rainy night many years later, and then both fall in love, and when they decide to break the shackles of the world and elope, they receive the displeasure of the divine mother.

The Valkyrie was moved by the true feelings of the two, so she didn't secretly protect the brother and sister.

The repertoire unfolded in such a background, but Qin Jian's attention was attracted by the music.

During the interlude, the orchestra played the majestic interlude "The Valkyrie's Ride", which was indeed a piece of music that made people's blood boil.

Just from a conductor's point of view, if the volume of the strings can be about 20 decibels, the grandeur of the brass can be better reflected.

Thinking made him miss the earth-shattering soprano in the back, and he only remembered that it was a very high soprano.

The stage came to an end amid the grief-stricken singing of the character who played his sister.

With a completely different background from Figaro, in order to reflect the magnificent story background and fierce fights in the repertoire, Shen Yin's team also used a large number of multimedia technologies to build a stage special effects that belonged to the background of that era in an all-round way.

"It's also very nice. ”

Qin Jian is not an audience stingy with his applause, "What do you think of this soprano?"

He asked again.

Ning Qianxia still chose to shake her head and said, "The position of her pronunciation is a bit strange, do you know that in addition to the traditional flowery, lyrical, and dramatic soprano, there is also a soprano?"

"How do I know this?" Qin Jian replied honestly.

Ning Qianxia explained: "In addition to these three, there is also a type called "Wagner soprano. ’”

"Wagner soprano?"

"Yes, the form, volume and depth of this soprano is better than that of a mezzo-soprano, because Wagner's script is mostly grandiose scenes. ”

After Ning Qianxia's explanation, Qin Jian recalled the soprano just now, "It seems that something is missing." ”

Bai was excited. Ning Qianxia sighed, "I thought I would hear something." ”

Qin Jian smiled, "Then can you sing Valkyrie?"

"I, I can't get fat. ”

Qin Jian thought for a moment, "Does pronunciation really have anything to do with being fat and thin?"

Ning Qianxia looked at Qin Jian like an idiot, "Are you serious?"

Qin Jian didn't dare to ask any more, the stage had already reached the next scene.

Not to be outdone, Verdi brought his "La Traviata" to a team of teachers and students from the Academy.

Tight plot, beautiful arias and duets in the hall of Micro Oletta's house in the first act.

It can be seen from the stage set that the creator's intentions, if you score from Qin Jian's point of view, among the three teams that have completed the repertoire of the competition, the Lady of the Camellias should be slightly better than the Valkyrie, but it is still a little short of Figaro.

The difference is in the singing of the main characters.

Later, the first team of the Chinese Academy brought Puccini's "The Artist's Life", which describes the life of a group of impoverished young artists in the Latin community of Paris, and excerpts from the love story of the male lead poet Rudolph and the embroidery girl.

Qin Jian had listened to several rehearsals at school for his brothers and sisters.

As always, it is in line with the big production of Huaguo Academy, from the stage costumes to the props, almost the story background is restored.

However, Li Shuang is not very optimistic, and together with the Camellia Girl of Jinyuan, he pulled together A, "The woman in Pugini's pen and the man in Verdi's pen, both teams have reversed the focus of the roles that need to be highlighted." ”

"Hey, it's up to you this year, Qin Jian. ”

Match day ends on the first day.
