Camillo finally didn't fall into the eye of money and couldn't climb out, and left some places for the big financiers of the opera house, the city government of Rome and the Italian government. "2. Government funding is the most important source of income for the opera house, no matter how capable he is, he can't do anything without money, and the opera house is counting on more sponsorship from top to bottom. Camilo hopes not only to increase attendance, but also to change the attitude of the government. If he had enough money, why would he want to lay off the orchestra and choir?

Pedro, an old opera fan, also appeared as a government official who came to listen to the opera for the first time, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and he did not mention it to Xi Wanqing. She knew the dilemma of the operation of the Roman Opera House, and she didn't want the opera house to go out of business, otherwise he would have to go to Milan and Venice to see the opera?

To put it mildly, an audience member of an opera house like Pedro would generally prefer to see a performance at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, unless it is performed by a particularly big-name opera singer. As for tonight's performance, the key is to see how hard Qin Fangge's singing skills are, his appearance, appearance, and other talents are secondary.

Xi Wanqing and the others naturally understand this, it depends on Qin Fangge's performance after the opening to conquer the audience. It was nearly seven o'clock, the opera was about to start, and the audience consciously turned off their mobile phones or turned them to silent mode. Even if you are not seen by the opera staff, you will be despised by the other audiences around you.

The 2,300-odd seats were almost full, the standing area was packed, and the opera house cameras were working. Camillo also paid a lot of price for the recording and filming of the opera at night, originally Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying did not want to leave a video recording of tonight's performance. These are what Xi Wanqing Qian Feifei and the others went to talk to Camillo, and she naturally knew that it was like saying that it was a priceless treasure, but it was not really priceless.

If Qin Fangge wants to open up the market in Italy and gain more recognition from the audience, he must also make some concessions and compromises.

made Xi Wanqing feel particularly regrettable that due to the tight time, the TV station could not follow up in time, and this had to be planned in advance by the TV station. Originally, the "Macbeth" of the Roman Opera House, although it was a classic repertoire, was not worthy of live broadcast on television. She only hopes that when "Don Juan" lands in Italy in the future, she can negotiate with the TV station. They are also in a hurry, and most of the operas are arranged a year or two in advance.

Soon, the opera began and the opera house fell silent, and the orchestra conductor Cosimo entered, who also bowed to the audience on behalf of the entire audience, to a round of applause. The applause came and ended quickly, as Cosimo had turned to conduct the orchestra and began to play the prelude to Macbeth.

Several of the themes in the prelude are from later acts, especially those related to witches, as well as the classic music of Lady Macbeth sleepwalking.

Stimulated by Qin Fangge, Cosimo and the orchestra he conducted also waved horizontally. They are also dignified, and they don't want to be looked down upon by Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying, especially since they are still under the banner of communication.

After the orchestra finished the prelude, the curtain slowly opened on the stage, and the audience's eyes shifted from the orchestra to the choir girls on the stage, who played three groups of witches, young and beautiful and old, singing in the noise and dancing a joyful ballet.

Lucci will no longer chat with the Italian girl around him, and watch the show with peace of mind. Zhou Yan and Ren Yu are also like this, the girls on the stage are actually quite good, but the retro costumes are not as beautiful as they are now, and they are a bit rustic. Macbeth is a story that was almost a thousand years ago, and you can't expect people at that time to have a high level of aesthetics, right?.

In stark contrast to this, it is the appearance of Macbeth played by Qin Fangge.

It is said that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, but this is not suitable for a person like Qin Fangge, in the eyes of a fan girl like Zhou Yan and Ren Yu, his handsomeness is there, and he can't hide it with any clothes.

What's more, Macbeth played by Qin Fangge will be a hero who has returned from the battlefield triumphantly, and it is the time when he is full of spirit and pride. His retro armor, which didn't really fit, was also much more pleasing to the eye, and he was joined by another general, Banquo. In fact, this person, I'm afraid that there will be a comparison, Qin Fangge is tall and big, and his figure is very burly, so that many people laugh at him for being more like an athlete than a musician.

On the stage of opera performances, this is where his advantage lies, and at first glance you know that he is a proper protagonist. The Banquo next to him was actually about the same size as him, but he always felt a little less imposing. Of course, this also has something to do with his role positioning, Banquo was originally a supporting role.

It's a pity that this is the scene of an opera performance, even if Zhou Yan, Ren Yu, and Deng Lijuan are about to flash stars, they still have to restrain themselves as much as possible, and don't shout out their hearts and lose the face of their idols.

When Macbeth and Banquo appeared, they sang two stanzas after seeing the bearded man who couldn't tell whether it was a goblin or a witch, and that's it, showing his solid foundation in baritone. As soon as he spoke, he was intoxicated, "I have never seen such a day in the hot sun! Oh, who are they? Nima comes from this world or is it not from this world? I wanted to call you women, but I can't call you out with your dirty beard." ”

On the teleprompter in front of the seat, such lyrics are displayed, and you can freely choose Italian or English, and Xi Wanqing and her choice are English. And Lu Qi and Zhou Yan and Deng Lijuan are still the original Italian, but with Qin Fangge's pure Italian sound, even if they don't look at the teleprompter, they all know what he is singing, which is quite difficult!

The witches sang and prophesied, "Welcome Macbeth, Lord Grimes!"

Greetings to Macbeth, Lord of Caude!

Greetings to Macbeth, King of Scotland!"

Banquo also asked the witches to tell him what was to come, and the third prophecy made by the witches was about Banquo, "You will be lower than Macbeth, but you will be nobler than him, not as happy as him, but happier! Not a king, but the father of kings!"

The prophecy soon came true, and King Duncan made Macbeth a lord of Calder, and soon arrived, saying that the original lord of Calder had been executed. The next prophecy is whether Macbeth can become the king of Scotland, and Macbeth's tragic story has officially begun.
