Lin Haven hasn't actually seen many opera performances, or even drama performances, and whether it is drama or opera, whether at home or abroad, it can only be said to be a niche - some die-hard fans and some old hats, which constitute their main audience. And what's worse is that this kind of niche has become a part of opera and drama art, it's hard to believe and accept, one day opera begins to rely on revealing flesh, and drama begins to rely on vulgar jokes, so it's better to live than to die.

They exist so elegantly and alone.

But when the prologue of "Turandot" opens, the eerie brass sounds...... The not-so-eared Italian treble began to hit the eardrums, and when the excellent singers performed an ancient legend with emotion, Lin Haven still deeply felt a kind of strength and momentum. He was no stranger to it when he watched Miller's School of Athens, Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, Michelangelo's Genesis...... He would feel that way, too.

Majestic bel canto, treble, flowery ...... It shows another ancient stage drama mode that is completely different from Chinese opera, like a war song on the battlefield.

Europe is indeed barbaric at heart.

There are almost no problems with the concern about the bloody plot in the whole performance - the opera is actually a musical to some extent, and the plot, set, props, etc., seem to be secondary, only the music is the eternal C position, which is why the eternal master in the opera always composes the music.

When in the last scene, Turandot, played by Tan Yunqiu, said to the subjects of the world that she knew the name of the prince - "That's love", Lin Haven smiled slightly, which was the only complaint he had about the plot in the whole performance. Although nominally, this plot is also his own creation.

Unexpectedly, the thunderous applause came as promised, and there was no absence.

Domingo's two big bear paws clapped for a while, and then hugged Lin Haven.

"Unbeatable work. ”

"A nascent classic. The manager of the Phoenix Theatre couldn't help but be excited.

The Italians did not hesitate to fall at the feet of Haven Lin and Turandot tonight, the level of which is almost visible to the naked eye. The singers on the stage were so excited that Tan Yunqiu, as the only Chinese person, Chinese faces, including the male lead, the well-known opera tenor Albero, pushed her forward half a step and received the most cheers and applause.

Lin Haven also applauded her on stage.

"Tan's tears last night were as charming as Turandot" – Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest newspaper, reported the premiere of Turandot under this headline.

"Yesterday, the world-famous Chinese artist Lin Haven personally watched his opera "Turandot", which tells the story of a Chinese princess, about love, but also about life. Soprano Tan Yunqiu, tenor Albero and other well-known actors gave their wonderful performances.

The 1,200 seats were filled with opera lovers from Italy, Germany, Spain and France – who witnessed the birth of new classics.

'I did have tears in my eyes after watching it, really, it's like when I first watched La Traviata' – one audience member from France, who is already an immortal classic in the history of opera.

......

Alvaro, the manager of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, could not hide his excitement that Turandot was probably the finest Italian opera of the 20th century, and if not humble, the best in all of Europe since then. I know it's a bit strange to come to such a conclusion after just one show. But from the bottom of my heart – I know that I've been in the industry for almost 40 years, I've heard countless works, and I've never had such an exciting moment. I almost smelled the golden age of opera in the 19th century from Turandot, the lyrics, the tones, which were directly rubbed from history, and it was intoxicating. ’

Alvaro said he would do his best to make Turandot as soon as possible at the Teatro La Fenice.

It is reported that the more well-known Teatro alla Scala, which has irreplaceable significance in the history of Italian opera, will also strive to let "Turandot" be performed in the theater.

......

This long-lost whirlwind of classic opera, although led by a Chinese, Italians are still excited about it. ”

Yes, excited.

In addition to Corriere della Sera, several other major Italian newspapers, La Repubblica and La Presse, are not absent – and more importantly, social media is the most widely circulated in this era. The search for "opera" in the Italian version of Facebook has multiplied and jumped into the hot search list.

This is inseparable from the admiration of a number of well-known literary and artistic figures.

Sophia Loren, an 84-year-old Italian national treasure, recommended the work with almost great enthusiasm: "When I finished watching Turandot, it was like after the reconstruction of the Slaka Opera House, all the Milanese people rushed in to listen to a performance, yes, it was the feeling of not being able to wait, not being able to endure, it was so wonderful, my dreams last night were magnificent." @林海文, Lin, you're such an amazing genius. ”

Italian-born Hollywood actor and acting god Robert De Niro, although he never saw the premiere, retweeted Roland's article: "I will be looking forward to seeing it, yes, as you said, I have an urgency that I can't wait." ”

The participation of the two gods directly led to the forwarding of a large number of Italian actors, directors, and singers.

It's almost a rare of Italian-language social media.

is higher on the hot search list than "opera", and there is no doubt that "Lin Haven".

Italians dig up their life and achievements little by little, as if they were digging for treasure, but they always have a habit of adding two words in front of them: unexpectedly.

He turned out to be one of the most famous and expensive oil painters in the world, creating the genre of proto-classicism and competing with modernism.

He was even known as the Pavarotti of the East (Italy's proudest singer) – and his few appearances proved that he lived up to his fame.

He turned out to be a super billionaire......

......

Of course, there are many more achievements that they feel are not so real, such as the thousand-year-old talent of ancient Chinese poetry, and the most prestigious screenwriter and composer in China...... And all that.

An Italian netizen concluded:

"We thought it was an inspirational story of a world-famous one, only to find out that it was really just a nasty super-genius who did it casually – and our surprise and shudder were like dirt buns in the Neapolitan countryside that had never seen the world. ”
