Chapter 279: Esplanade

Xiao Zhao also took Zhou Sen to visit the Esplanade, which is also one of the more famous venues in Singapore.

"Located in Singapore's famous waterfront district, it is one of the most distinctive modern buildings and has become a landmark in Singapore. ”

Zhou Sen said: "I think the appearance of this art center is still very fashionable and special, how did the architects conceive and design it?"

Xiao Zhao said: "The architect team was inspired by the compound eyes of insects to create a unique appearance, so you can now see that the appearance is a smooth and huge roof, which is very stylish, especially at night, with lighting effects, it is even more dazzling." ”

"Let's go in and have a look, I've already bought a ticket, I can go in and have a visit, I can listen to the concert, it's also very artistic. ”

"The Concert Hall is the heart of the Esplanade, with stunning room acoustics and is one of only five concert halls in the world with this cutting-edge design. ”

Zhou Sen's impression of Singapore is still very good, this country pays great attention to the protection of the environment, there are many zoos and nature parks, and he is also very good at taking advantage of the unique advantage of the bay to build the bay garden.

The food mall is also well developed, the city is modern, and the people are polite, polite and easy to communicate with.

Young people can get higher education, fill in the volunteers according to their interests and hobbies, find jobs, and in the interview, I saw several young Singaporeans who are enthusiastic and motivated, and it is easy to communicate.

Zhou Sen came to see the concert hall because a city must have its own art and culture in order to attract people.

The concert hall is equipped with a reverberation room and an acoustic canopy that can be adapted to a wide range of musical genres to provide the perfect acoustics for every concert.

The Symphony Orchestra Stage in the Concert Hall can accommodate orchestras to perform, and the stage design has been carefully designed and the stage designers have taken many aspects into account, above the platform is a movable remote control canopy, placed in a key position, and consists of three parts, the canopy acts as a sound reflector, properly adjusted, to provide just the right sound for each performance.

Xiao Zhao explained the principle of voice control next to him, although Zhou Sen didn't understand it very well, but he could also listen to Xiao Zhao's expression, and he came abroad to interview to broaden his horizons.

Xiao Zhao said: "This kind of equipment is still very good, in order to meet the needs of the performance, it is necessary to have good sound equipment, so that the concert hall can be well adapted to different kinds of performances, and it is precisely because of this flexible performance production system and adjustable acoustic system that provides high-level sound performance for various music forms." ”

Zhou Sen smiled, "Concerts, when I interviewed, I still heard a lot, and the head of Xia also took the song to the Russian opera hall, where you can perform both opera and concerts, the sound effect is very good, every time you go to a country, you can go to their concert hall to have a look, and the more impressive ones are the concert halls in Russia, France, and Italy." ”

Xiao Zhao nodded, "The operas of those countries are very famous, they have been passed down from generation to generation, integrating their history and culture, although the concert halls in Singapore cannot be compared with the large-scale concert halls of European and American countries, but they are also very famous, and the hardware and software equipment can keep up." ”

The seating arrangement in the hall is still very reasonable, Zhou Sen took a look at the four floors, which can still accommodate thousands of spectators, and the types of seats are divided into seats in front of the curtain, seats in the hall, first, second and third circles, etc.

There was also a choir seat behind the stage in the concert hall, Zhou Sen was very curious and asked Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao told him, "This is because Singapore is influenced by the West, and some religions are on par with the West, so there will be a place for the choir, and the concert hall in China, I didn't expect the influence of the West, will not leave this kind of position." ”

"Oh, that's how it is!" Zhou Sen understood, and it seemed that the seating arrangement of the concert hall could also tell the history and culture.

Some things have been preserved over the years and have become a habit.

The concert hall also has VIP private rooms, which can provide a complete and excellent view of the concert hall.

Xiao Zhao said that the concert hall is still very modern, and the types of performances are also diverse, including Asian and Western performance arts, musicals, theater, classical, traditional, modern and multimedia arts, and can carry a variety of performance tasks from medium to large.

The Theatre Stage is the largest performance stage in Singapore and provides hardware support for a variety of performance formats, with a main stage and two auxiliary stages of similar size to the main stage, which can be used to pre-produce performance sets and quickly switch between performance scenes.

The solid construction process and the fine materials used make it possible to convey everything from the thick wind sound to the light and lively string sound.

The shape of the recital room is fan-shaped, Zhou Sen asked Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao said that this kind of design is conducive to the wider spread of sound, and because of this, the design can be more beautiful, so that the audience can see more clearly under the stage.

In addition to having wooden floors, the walls and roof of the concert room have also been specially designed to ensure its excellent acoustics.

To design a concert hall, you need to draw a lot of drawings, and then after discussion, let the experts nod and agree, before construction, which is difficult only designers can understand, and it is not easy to do one thing.

Next, Xiao Zhao invited Zhou Sen to watch a music performance, which is an artistic enjoyment, invited the symphony orchestra to play, the orchestra lineup is very luxurious, the musicians are wearing suits, looking polite, everyone sits down, the lights dim, the spotlight hits the chief performer, the fan shape of the stage, which is conducive to the audience to see the performers, he is very focused, as soon as the bowstring is pulled, the smooth music comes out.

The audience was silent, attentively watching, full of respect for the musicians, which is also a good quality and habit, and the musicians on the stage are also immersed in their own art, after many exercises, they have long been familiar, with their eyes closed, playing the piano, the bowstrings are very rhythmic, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Zhou Sen sat down on the stage, listening, feeling that the heart was also beating up and down with the notes, elegant art is indeed very infectious, this art performance hall, the effect is still very good, just like Xiao Zhao said before, the equipment is still very good, the sound effect is also very clear in the audience, and there is no echo, it seems that the staff has put in a certain amount of effort, and the high-level concerts held here are very popular, and the tickets will be sold out quickly.
