Chapter 827: A Milestone in the History of Music Development
"My show has been scheduled for the back! I'm afraid that I won't be able to rehearse until the morning after tomorrow. ”
"Alright then, wait for my call tomorrow when you go to the rehearsal hall. Remember, keep an eye on that kid! I'm not going to let him go this time. ”
"Don't worry, Brother Hao! I know all this!"
After Zhou Jin and Ma Hao finished chatting, they quit the software and looked at Zhang Yu in front of them...... In fact, what happened on the plane today, of course Zhou Jin also saw it. Although Zhang Yu was able to easily settle the strong big man, he was really a little surprised. But thinking about it later, it is not excluded that the big man himself is a showman. After all, there are a lot of guys in the world with a silver pewter head, and it's not surprising that you just happened to meet one on the plane. It's just that now it seems that this Zhang Yu may not be the kind of guy who is easy to be pinched and flattened, but considering that Joseph's influence in Rome is not small, it should not be difficult to deal with a foreigner. The key is still some details, which need to be considered in the long run.
……
The car went all the way, and the art troupe came to the hotel, you must know that it was very late at this time, and everyone had no appetite to eat the reception banquet, so they simply ate a little dinner, and then they all went back to their rooms and lay down to rest.
The next morning, after a night of recuperation, the troupe was refreshed, and after breakfast, they got on the bus and headed to the last stop of the Shikoku tour, the Teatro dell'Opera and Dance in Rome.
The Teatro dell'Opera and Ballet is the oldest theatre in Italy and one of the city's most iconic buildings, a testament to the history of Italy and a natural choice for this performance.
The troupe came to the theater and was naturally unanimously welcomed by the orchestra conductor and the theater manager.
The Cabaret Theater does not have its own exclusive band, and every time it performs, it hires an external band, such as the band conductor Matthew Lawrence, although he is in charge of conducting the performance, but he is not the conductor of the Cabaret Theater, and he is temporarily brought in to help.
In fact, according to the performance specifications of the Chinese art troupe, it is more appropriate to go to Milan for a performance. Although Rome is the capital of Italy, when it comes to music, most of Italy's highest-level musicians are active in Milan. However, the main purpose of the art troupe's performance in Italy this time is not to perform, but mainly to make exchanges and make a sense of existence for the state visits of the four European countries. Then it is not surprising that the last stop of the show had to be arranged in Rome, which was already somewhat weak.
However, although the Roman Cabaret Theater does not have a permanent orchestra at the moment, it is also seriously underfunded. However, considering that the Chinese leaders will come to the Grand Theater to watch this performance during their visit to Rome, then this performance has a bit of a clear political connotation.
This also made the officials of the Ministry of Culture of Rome give a death order to the Grand Theater, and this event must be held in a decent manner, so as not to make the Chinese leaders look down on it and affect the country's image.
The management of the Teatro della Roma is actually very happy that its theater has the opportunity to hold such an important performance. It seems that this performance represents a rare opportunity, an opportunity to make a comeback.
The management of the Song and Dance Theater promised the leaders of the Ministry of Culture that the theater would definitely hold this performance. At the same time, the management of the theater also took advantage of this performance as a condition to win the performance of the theater at this year's Italian International Opera Festival. You must know that this opera festival was originally arranged to be held at the Milan Gran Theater, but it was pried over by the Song and Dance Theater, which naturally made the management of the Milan Theater so angry that they almost vomited blood.
With two important performances as a guarantee, the song and dance theater naturally rushed to action, first of all, to find a strong orchestra...... In fact, in normal times, it is still a bit difficult for the Grand Theater to organize a relatively good orchestra. The point is that the best orchestras in the country are in Milan, and it is not so simple for the Grand Theater to borrow it. Besides, now the relationship between the two theaters has deteriorated a little because of the opera festival, so naturally they can't find a way from there.
Fortunately, the management of the Teatro de Roma has other relationships...... The Conservatory of Rome is the highest music institution in Italy. There is a good house band in it, and although the professionalism is not the best in the country, it is almost first-class.
Conductor Matthew Lawrence, a professor at the Rome Conservatory and head of the conducting department, is a well-known figure in the Italian music scene, and in terms of popularity, he is responsible for conducting this performance.
When Tian Guangcheng started his tour of four European countries, he actually knew that the Roman Opera and Dance Theater did not have its own resident orchestra. Because the best orchestra in Italy is in Milan, the performance in Rome is actually one of the most difficult performances of the troupe's trip to Europe.
Compared to the world-class level of the Hungarian orchestra and the Vienna orchestra, these orchestras in Italy may not even be able to reach the level of the European second-class orchestra. But what is a headache is that the Italian performance is the most important of the four European tours. Therefore, Tian Guangcheng was afraid that Rome would not be able to organize a powerful band, which would affect the performance effect of the art troupe.
Fortunately, Tian Guangcheng saw that Matthew Lawrence was in charge of the orchestra conductor, and the orchestra used was a good academy band in European music schools, which made Tian Guangcheng's heart a lot easier. Although the members of this academy band are not very old, they are still professional bands anyway. It's much better than finding a bunch of guys from society who don't know what their origins are and fooling the performance of the art troupe.
After a brief greeting at the entrance of the theater, everyone from the art troupe came to the rehearsal hall of the theater.
The stage in the hall was already full of people, and the arrival of the art troupe naturally aroused the ideas of these people...... Especially Zhang Yu, who is tall himself, almost as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the curious eyes of the band members.
Zhang Yu's current fame can be said to be in full swing in Europe. It can be said that in the field of professional music in the whole of Europe, there is no one who does not know Zhang Yu. Even Matthew Lawrence, an Italian conductor, is very interested in Zhang Yu.
Matthew Lawrence has been a music educator for many years and admits he has seen countless musical geniuses. But any of them were placed next to Zhang Yu, and they all looked unremarkable. Even his colleagues said that Zhang Yu could become a milestone figure in the history of human music. You must know that in the current materialistic world, it is an unimaginable miracle that a person like Zhang Yu can appear.
