Chapter 1022 Controversy
The story of Don Juan and Celina is still not over, and after being persuaded by Elvira to leave, Celina meets her fiancé in Don Juan's villa. [.la is so good] sang the classic "Whip me", the picture of this scene is a bit dirty, and the scale is not small. But for the actors who have performed a lot of operas and know about artistic processing, it is actually nothing.
During the intermission, Zhou Hongxia, who played Cai Lina, personally discussed the character traits of Cai Lina with Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying, and if you want to play this role well, you must have the most in-depth understanding of her.
Qin Fangge, the author, is also the most vocal, and he said his own thoughts.
In his point of view, Celina is undoubtedly simple and kind, whether it is appearance or language, she gives people the impression of a simple, beautiful, lively and lovely country girl. Living in the countryside, not deeply involved in the world, he has a beautiful vision of the outside world and even fantasies, believing in beautiful things, but at the same time he is wary of everything. This is still in line with the true portrayal of thousands of girls today, who are full of innocent feelings, which makes people unbearable to blaspheme. It is precisely because of this naivety that Celina is still attracted to the dashing and dignified Don Juan when she is about to marry her fiancé Maceto. Human nature is full of love and pursuit of beautiful things, and this is the case with Celina, an innocent country girl. Therefore, when Don Juan won his favor with his usual elegant tricks, she hesitated, but after all, she could not resist.
"Let's walk hand in hand, I'm going to propose to you, Celina", with a clever tongue like Don Juan, a mouth that is deadly, Celina sings "I am panicked, willing and afraid".
Celina is a girl with a true temperament, and she directly expresses her inner joy and timidity in straightforward words. And the classic male and female duets in the opera vividly reflect the contradictions in Celina's heart. The handsome and noble Don Juan spat out a seductive melody with his seductive voice, "Let us walk hand in hand, and say to me that if you want, my castle is nearby, please come with me." After the sugar-coated cannonballs took turns teasing, the shy Zelina was still wavering and hesitating, "If you want to ask me if I want to, I hesitate and tremble, which may bring happiness, but I am afraid that he will be hypocritical." This classic duet truly expresses Don Juan's amorous and Zelina's innocence. Carried away by Don Juan's sweet words, Celina kept the last shred of her sanity, and she lingered between madness and sanity for a long time. Celina is a mixture of contradictions, and at this time it is especially in line with the most essential contradictory characteristics of human beings, that is, innocence and vanity.
The Celina embodied in this scene is more in line with a person's nature, pure and good, but also restrained by desire. Kindness and simplicity like Celina, at the time of marriage, still could not escape the surging pursuit of the merry Don Juan, she did not know that he had played with the hearts of more than a thousand beauties, and under the last trace of reason, it was more joy and inner throbbing. She was thinking: How happy I am that such a handsome and elegant nobleman is actually pursuing me. Yes, the subtext of Celina is the same, her sentence "I have promised to marry Masetto" is just a powerless word that she tries to persuade herself to get rid of Don Juan but can't get rid of. Everyone has the disadvantage of loving vanity, and this is especially prominent in women.
Women are no less competitive than men, and they want to be recognized, especially by good people. And this expectation of recognition is reflected in vanity in some ways, such as praise of appearance, such as courtship.
In the scene of "Don Juan", Celina's "recognition" is undoubtedly reflected in Don Juan's naked courtship of her. Is Celina really naïve, yes, from the actor's demeanor, lines, and cheerfulness and hesitation in the tune, we can't doubt the innocence of this simple girl, but Celina is also vain. It is precisely because of this vanity that she will repeatedly fall into the whirlpool of indecision, will be happy and afraid, and will still be tempted by others even if she already has a fiancé. In Don Juan's fierce pursuit of Celina, the complex ambivalence embodied by Celina is a true portrayal of many people in the real world. On the one hand, people retain the quality of goodness that cannot be invaded by outsiders, and on the other hand, they also have a worldly side.
After Elvira exposes Don Juan's evil deeds, after Anna and her fiancé finally decide that Don Juan is her father's killer, when Don Juan plans to hold a crazy party to attack Celina again, Celina finally finds her fiancé Masseto, who was kicked out of the castle due to drunkenness. At this time, the plot takes a sharp turn, and Zelina realizes the mistake she has made, and she almost betrays her fiancé, or from the surface of things, she once betrayed her fiancé. In order to appease Marceito's anger, Celina appears to be well-behaved and lovely, which she knows is also very lethal to Maseto.
In the aria of Act 1, Scene 4 of the opera, in order to seek Masetto's forgiveness after seeing through Don Juan's tricks, Celina sings in a self-reproachful and coquettish tone, "Hit me, good Maceto." Celina sang the words of self-reproach for her unforgiving, her face was ashamed, and her eyes were full of regret, but she knew very well in her heart that her fiancé Maceto was reluctant to beat her. It's too late for him to love her, how can he bear to beat her, not to mention, what is now showing in front of Maceto's eyes is still such a pitiful and lovely child. Zelina pleaded while coquettishly, and gently read the words to catch her breath, "Whip me,"
When she saw that Maceto was unresponsive, she raised her voice and repeated it again, "Whip me, good Maceto." The whole atmosphere is mischievous and cohesive in the relaxation of the aria, and the cheerful tune shows off Zelina's confidence. It can be seen that in addition to being innocent and innocent, there is also a trace of naughty cunning, and the most important thing is that she is confident in love, she believes that Maceto will forgive her, and she will sing cleanly "I knew that you can't bear it", the orchestra accompaniment uses twelve trills to produce the opposite effect of its character characteristics when she appeared, and at this time Zelina is sincerely happy and extremely confident that her efforts have been effective.
In the fourth scene of the first act of the opera "Don Juan", Cerina appears for the third time, and in the midst of the enthusiastic dance music of the carnival party, Celina's screams are suddenly heard in the house, and Don Juan blames the servant Leporello for the crime, and pulls his ears out of the house. What did Celina do at this time, she mercilessly exposed the fact that Don Juan was contemptuous of her, which attracted everyone's reprimands for Don Juan's evil deeds. At this time, Celina was awe-inspiring, and after seeing Don Juan's true face, she simply and directly exposed it, on the one hand, out of the self-protection consciousness of the victim, and on the other hand, she immediately drew a line with it and revealed the timidity in Celina's heart. Why was Celina cowardly in her heart, because she made a mistake, she was with another man behind her fiancé's back, she couldn't resist the temptation of Don Juan's beauty and clever words, she couldn't recognize sugar-coated shells, vanity and satisfaction blinded her heart. When the beautiful illusion is suddenly shattered by the lightness of reality, Zelina finally realizes that Don Juan's castle is just a shackle of sin, and she realizes that she has made such a big mistake, and she feels shameless, which is not a very disgraceful thing. Celina stood up for the first time to correct Don Juan's rampantness, which witnessed his inner cowardice, and she couldn't wait to break off the relationship with him, the subtext was: This guy is too good at disguise, I was "bewitched", Maceto, you have to forgive me, the sin is not on me.
This scene contrasts with the lyrics "Hit me, good Maceto" in the aria that follows, reflecting the weakness of human nature in the tense atmosphere and cheerful tune. The whole act also reaches a high level here, and after a scream from Celina, everyone sees through the gentle and evil face of Don Juan's handsome appearance.
A woman's gentleness is unresistible to a man, and a simple and beautiful woman's tenderness is even more resistant-free to a man who has been hurt.
In the first scene of the second act, a furious Maceto leads the peasants to crusade against Don Juan, and wants to kill him, but he is poisoned and beaten by Don Juan, who has changed his identity. Maceto was in unbearable pain, and her voice reached the ears of Zelina, who was rushing to hear the news, and her heart ached to see her fiancé beaten like this. In a gentle and tender aria, Celina comforted Maceto in a soft voice, "If you are obedient, I will give you a side medicine, so that your pain will disappear immediately, you can touch it, it is actually in my heart." To distract Maceto from the pain, she playfully sings, "It tastes good, it works wonders." ”
Maceto's eyes were drawn to the story of the medicine that Cerina had carefully designed, and in the tenderness of Celina's conscience, he finally felt the miraculous effect of the medicine and forgot the pain of being beaten. In this scene, Celina combines the gentleness peculiar to women with her own intelligence, and the love in her words is vivid. And the scene of "Don Juan" is here, and it is also a scene that witnesses the growth of Zelina, from a simple, lively and innocent country girl to a gentle and intelligent woman, which is also a microcosm of women's growth in real society. Celina eventually helped her husband through the difficult times, calmly optimistic, in line with Mozart's meaning of calling Don Juan a "happy drama".
In the play "Don Giovanni", Mozart shows the inner plot fluctuations of the characters through repeated duets and arias, and when portraying the character of Celina, from the classic duet with Don Juan at the beginning "Let's walk hand in hand", to the later aria "Whip me, good Maceto", and then to "It tastes good, it works wonderfully", in the cheerful voice outlines the lifelike appearance of Zelina.
The duets of different vocal combinations, such as Celina and Don Juan, Celina and Maceto, and Celina's solo aria, not only show the development of the plot and atmosphere of the drama, but also depict the inner world of each character in detail. The contradictions in Celina's character, reason and madness, innocence and vanity, kindness and gentleness, are actually the epitome of all beings in every world.
