After Zhang Yu had a brief greeting with everyone in the car, he turned his head to look at Brandt and said, "Mr. Brandt, what cocktail party are we going to attend tonight?"

Brandt smiled when he heard this, and said, "Actually, it's a coincidence! Rome is going to hold the Italian International Opera Festival every two years in a few days. So a lot of the celebrities in the music industry in Europe are in Rome these days. The reception was sponsored by an Italian opera lover and was a networking event for the entire European music industry. We all thought we should take you to see and introduce you to some new friends, because you're one of us now. ”

"I see! No wonder you're all here. When Zhang Yu said this, he suddenly looked at everyone strangely and said, "By the way, aren't you all conductors of the symphony orchestra? Why do you also come to join in the fun at the opera festival?"

"Hehehehe!" several people laughed at the same time.

Lange laughs: "We are orchestra conductors, but the opera is accompanied by a symphony orchestra. In fact, we were all invited by our professional opera groups in China. Because the scale of the performance is relatively large, and the professional troupes of various countries also compete with each other, we are not only responsible for the conductor, but also responsible for the adaptation. To put it mildly, it is to help carry the banner, to say that it is ugly, it is to be a coolie, and when the performance is smashed, someone has to come to the black pot, and none of us can run. ”

"Hahaha!" Several people around laughed when they heard this, and they all gave Lange a thumbs up.

Brandt laughed, "Paul, you're so right! You don't know, the other day I was so sad about the adaptation of "The Wandering Gypsy". This show has basically been adapted countless versions over the years, and I am now racking my brains to complete the adaptation before the performance. But to be honest, I think the effect is average, if the audience doesn't buy it, I'm afraid I won't want to come next time. ”

Klaeser Oscar, the conductor of the Berlin Orchestra, who was driving, also interjected at this time: "Karl! What is your "Wandering Gypsy"! This year's "Tulip Knight" selected by the Berlin Opera House is so difficult! I have adapted this piece myself several times, and my hair is simply grabbing a lot now, and the effect of the adaptation is terrible. I've figured it out next time, if I am still in charge of adaptation, even if anyone asks me, I won't come!"

"Hehehehe!" Several people laughed when they heard this, knowing that adapting an opera is a system project after all. Over the years, any of them has been adapted countless times, and almost all the notes that can be used have been used.

Brandt turned to Lange and said, "Paul, how is your adaptation of Hamlet?"

"Is that the name of Mr. Lange's opera?" Zhang Yu said with some surprise when he heard this familiar name.

Paul Lange was stunned and said a little strangely, "What's the matter?

"Oh! no...... No problem! It's just that the name sounds weird. Just ask!" Zhang Yu responded with a smile, embarrassed to ask the other party if he had heard of Shakespeare's name.

Several people were stunned at the same time when they heard this! I felt that Zhang Yu's question was so strange.

Brandt said a little strangely: "Zhang Yu, haven't you heard the opera "Hamlet"? This is one of the most frequently performed operas in the history of human opera!"

Zhang Yu saw that everyone looked strange, so he had to smile and said, "Actually, I don't usually listen to opera! ”

When the crowd heard this, it was as if they had heard something incredible! A conductor didn't listen to opera, what kind of joke!

Brandt was surprised and said, "Zhang Yu, aren't you joking with us? You really never listen to opera?"

It is true that Zhang Yu has never heard of any opera here, but he can't talk nonsense, in case people smell which of them he has heard, how will he answer? He had to shake his head and say, "I really haven't heard any of them! Mr. Brandt has any good works to recommend here? If I have time, I will also listen to them and study them." ”

Brandt made a speechless expression when he heard this, and said, "Zhang Yu, I am completely convinced of you now." If someone had told me that a professional conductor had ever heard opera, I wouldn't have believed it. Now it seems that if you don't believe it, you are an obvious negative example. ”

"Hahaha!" everyone in the car laughed in unison.

Lange also smiled: "Actually, there is nothing strange about it! Zhang Yu is still very young after all, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything, but I think this is normal." By the way, Zhang Yu, in fact, "The Wandering Gypsy," "Tulip Knight," and "Hamlet" we just talked about are all quite good! You can listen to them all when you go back, and maybe your talent in opera will be opened!"

"Okay! I remember. Zhang Yu nodded.

Brandt interjected: "Actually, 'Favre' is pretty good! By the way, and my favorite 'The Last Warrior Orona'! By the way, Paul! Did Aruso sing this opera this year?"

Lange nodded, "That's it! Six or seven times out of ten, their troupe has sung this play." After all, Martello himself is an Italian opera master, and he is also the glory of the Italians! Do you remember when we were in school, the teacher said that the name of this opera is engraved in the blood of Italians? ”

Several people around nodded when they heard this......

The car went all the way, several people chatted in the car, of course, the topic was the people and things of this opera festival, but all this was very strange to Zhang Yu, most of the time he just listened, anyway, he was here to join in the fun this time, it doesn't matter who he is with whom and himself

The car came to a gate and stopped.

The man standing at the door walked over...... Brandt lowered the window and handed over a few invitation cards in his hand.

After reading the invitation, the man smiled and said, "Welcome to our manor! With that, he handed the invitation card back to Brandt. Then he turned around and gestured to the person at the door, and the barricade on the road slowly rose...... The car drove into the estate.

……

Zhang Yu looked through the car window, although it was dark outside, he had night vision, and naturally saw everything around him clearly.
