At the National Center for the Performing Arts on this day, the theme is still the opera "Don Juan", and now Zhou Xiuying and their rehearsals are also directly in the opera performance hall. The performance for five consecutive nights is not only very demanding for the opera singers, but also for the conductors and performers of the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra.

If Qin Fangge is serious, no note can escape his ears, and for conductor Yu Dawei, in fact, the same is true, as a conductor, pitch is the most necessary talent.

Yu Dawei is also happy to see Qin Fangge helping to train the orchestra, he, the conductor, to be honest, is sometimes not so convincing to the public, the band members may obey his rehearsal command on the surface, but they don't know what to say in private! People have all kinds of strange ideas, and everyone is engaged in art, and they are very arrogant, and no one obeys anyone. Commander Yu Dawei also knows this, just don't say it, it's not necessary, and you can't do it.

If Qin Fangge is gone, everyone will not support the wall, and they must obey him.

His genius and strength are there, and the members of the troupe can say to Dawei in their hearts, you say that I don't play well, you can try it! But he definitely didn't dare to say this to Qin Fangge, it was undoubtedly his own face to beat him.

This product is indeed super perverted, whether it is the violin or other instruments, it is very handy, and it has basically reached the level of a performer. Not to mention the string group, Qin Fangge's fingers are independent and thoughtful, and everyone wishes that these fingers were on their bodies. On the side of the wind ensemble, there is no one who wants to compare his lung capacity with him to control his breath or anything, and everyone knows how this tenor sings, and there is really no need to embarrass himself.

The music of Don Giovanni has a lot to improve on for the orchestra members. Of course, after a long time, there will still be some aesthetic fatigue, but this is the homework they must do, and the longer they practice, the more skilled they will become. When they go abroad in the future, they can also get a shot, and no one wants to be looked down upon, and they are no exception.

Qin Fangge's own words are also in continuous learning, and practice is the best teacher. He was learning to conduct the orchestra, and his Symphony No. 1 (also known as Dvořák's Ninth Symphony) was premiered by himself...... He has to rehearse well in advance, he pretends to be forced or something, and he has a lot of appearances, but he still has the bottom in his heart, so he can pretend better.

But for him as a composer, conducting is really not a big problem, and it is quite common for those great composers in the past to conduct their own symphonies or opera premieres.

But like Qin Fangge, he is the first to play the leading role of his own opera, and it seems that there are few who are both composers and singers, great violinists and pianists......

Qin Fangge is also a precedent, and in the next hundred years, he will definitely be talked about. Shen Jianping, Zhai Liyin, Yu Dawei, they often joke about him like this, Qin Fangge usually laughs and laughs.

The opera singers, the orchestra members, and the staff present, in addition to their hard work, can also enjoy considerable benefits, adding some extra fun to daily life.

That is Qin Fangge's encore, which will be rehearsed in advance every day, mainly for the practice of the orchestra, there is no problem with his own singing skills, but he has to cooperate with the orchestra, and the effect of the cappella is still not good without accompaniment.

This is also the most enjoyable moment for everyone present, listening to Qin Fang's singing, which can always make everyone forget the troubles of life.

The old man who has been in charge of cleaning in the opera house for ten years, surnamed Zhao, has been working here since the establishment of the National Center for the Performing Arts. I also listened to countless opera rehearsals, but most of the time I avoided them, and only Qin Fangge participated in rehearsals. He will take the initiative to listen, and this day is no exception.

Most of the audience in the opera hall are very civilized, but there are many who do not pay attention to quality, and hygiene is also done every day.

Qin Fangge also distributed benefits, and the encore song he prepared for tonight was an aria in French. In the history of opera, French opera is second only to Italian opera in terms of the number of operas, which is related to the pronunciation of French and Italian. If Qin Fang's song was sung in German last night, the effect was still not in the most perfect state. But as a composer himself, it's easy to adjust these, and besides, it's just an aria, not a whole opera, and the workload is much smaller, so he can handle it calmly.

Generally speaking, he rehearses the encores every night on the same day, mainly because of the workload of the orchestra members. The time is also arranged in the afternoon, let them strike while the iron is hot, only a few minutes, if you can't take it again, it will be better to quit by yourself.

Qin Fang's song is also quite interesting, there is still no Chinese translation on the score for the orchestra, so even the members of the orchestra, after listening to him sing, still do not understand what he is singing......

But it really doesn't matter, it can be regarded as helping everyone, avoiding the trouble of being spoiled, if it is a Chinese translation that can be understood, the brain will be somewhat disturbed. Since it's French, German, and Italian, everyone thinks to themselves, if they don't understand it anyway, they simply don't think about it, and appreciate it purely from the perspective of musicality and artistry.

And when rehearsing the encore, it is also the time when there are the most people in the opera hall, and the staff of the Grand Theater are not stupid, and the news is quite well-informed.

Even the uncle who swept the floor rushed over, although he didn't have too many music cells, and the judging criteria were very simple, good or bad.

Qin Fangge's French aria today, the melody is still beautiful and moving, and it is especially liked by the sweeping uncle, in the words he said a few days ago, "This is a good opera! What was the mess in the past!"

Uncle Sweeper doesn't know what fans and idols are, and the opera house doesn't pay attention to these, mainly depending on the strength. But since Qin Fangge came here to rehearse "Alonso" with Shen Jianping and them, and sang the most shocking "Beautiful Scenery", as long as there is a chance, Uncle Zhao will come to be the audience. He may not know much about music, but he also knows that Uncle Zhao's quotations and the staff of the Grand Theater know, "This young man sings quite well!" Looking at the calm expression on his face, you know that he is particularly confident and powerful, and he will not grin like being choked by someone's neck. The voice will not be so dry as if constipation has finally come out, and it is also the kind of duck that is about to be slaughtered, and it is desperate and powerful. ”

"His singing voice sounds very comfortable, especially as you often say, magnificent!"

But when Qin Fangge played Don Juan and sang baritone, Uncle Zhao had a new understanding of Qin Fangge's singing, "As soon as I heard it, I knew that the amorous character he played was very rippling, but it was not obscene." I still prefer his tenor, and when I get to that High C, my heart beats......!

Yesterday's aria, Qin Fangge is very lyrical, today's French aria is still solo, and Qin Fangge is lazy, and if he finds someone to partner again, it will take a lot of effort, it is better to arrange this role into the orchestra and save much trouble!

This song is much more fancy, the style is similar to the tenor in Bellini's opera, generally called the light lyrical tenor, and in the field of tenor, there are more flowery tenors. The timbre of this tenor is the thinnest in the male voice, and it is also the most colorful part, because in the opera era of the Italian composer Bellini, the popular tenor sang with a flowery tone and a very difficult technique is still used a lot in the later opera era.

Qin Fangge rehearsed this tenor aria today, and compared with Bellini's classic tenor aria, the technique is even better.

This is also his show-off work at all, not only the soprano has a flowery cavity, but the tenor can also be realized, it depends on whether the strength is enough and whether the skills are mastered.

If it were other tenor singers, Zhou Xiuying would definitely come forward to stop it, you know, such a type of light lyric tenor is really not something that any singer can control. The sooner you take on the challenge, the sooner your career as a singer will end, and in the most normal case, by the age of forty-five, the voice of a tenor who sings such a tenor will basically collapse!

So, tenors of every age have their own forbidden areas that they don't touch, and not every tenor can sing a high C in a performance, but that doesn't prevent them from becoming tenors. If any tenor singer can sing the high C in a complete opera performance, then the high C is not as mythical as it is now, and the rare is the most valuable!

But Qin Fangge is an exception, Zhou Xiuying was a little worried about him when she first knew him, afraid that he would skip the challenge too early and damage his throat. It wasn't until later that I found out that Qin Fangge was a monster at all, with a super strong vocal cord, and his innate and unique body.

In fact, Qin Fangge's most unique and perfect whole-body cavity resonance singing method determines that he can do it more calmly than other singers when controlling tenor songs. Because, the load on his vocal cords is not particularly large, and his scientific use of his voice is far less than the normal singing loss of other tenor singers.

So, Zhou Xiuying didn't stop him from practicing the new repertoire, and the baritone or something didn't affect it! The tenor of the encore, even if it was like Bellini, the most easily ruined voice and extremely difficult flowery singing, when Qin Fangge sang, he was still lightweight, and it didn't reach the limit of his body.

But for the audience, this is already the most exciting and exciting thing!

The flowery cavity is gorgeous, and it is also the most noticeable, and the shock given by the flowery soprano can be easily felt even by ordinary people.

In addition to the Bellini tenor, the most famous tenor is the earlier era of eunuch singers. This is the case in both planes, and both have produced quite famous eunuch singers. In another time and space, there is also an adaptation of a legendary movie "The Peerless Enchantress" based on the famous eunuch singer Farinelli.

It is about 18th century Italy, Rigardo was an opera composer, in order to keep his younger brother Faranelli's high-pitched singing voice from disappearing due to growth, he did not hesitate to torture his father when he was seriously ill, and deceived him that he would die otherwise, and Faraneli became a great singer. His intoxicating singing voice and innocent charm charmed many beautiful women, and Rigardo shared all the spoils according to his agreement with Farranelli, and controlled the pure Faranelli in his relationship and career. Handel accidentally learns the truth about Faranelli's becoming a eunuch and tells him about it during a break in Faraneli's singing. He was so grief-stricken that he could not forgive his brother for what he had done to him, believing that nothing could make up for the damage. Three years later his brother had finished the choral suite and called out to him in the courtyard of the court, and he was bitter and did not want to see him. However, at night, Alice took advantage of Rigador to sleep and secretly took back the score of the suite and gave it to Farranelli, begging Farranelli to forgive his brother, but Farranelli said that he would not sing it again, except for the sake of the king. The camera pans to the Royal Gardens of Spain, where everyone watches the eclipse. When the sun was swallowed up by the dark shadow, the king called the sun back, and he sang "Let me cry" from the suite, and his brother committed suicide by slitting his wrists with a smile on his lips, but he did not die, and when he woke up, he saw Faranelli sleeping beside him, so he slept peacefully. He woke up in the morning when he wasn't around, but he saw the familiar nightgown and smiled with relief. Putting on his dressing gown, he gave Farranelli the missing part of being a human being, and then walked away. Faranelli lives happily with Alice independently.

If Qin Fangge is willing, he can also use this as a prototype to shoot a movie.

And in real history, Farinelli did have his own people, and the most famous and at the same time the most likable eunuch singer at that time was Carlo Broski, and people called him Farinelli. At the age of 15, Farinelli took the stage to sing in Naples and showed a special talent for singing. At the age of 17, he sang in Rome a famous aria by Botpola with trumpet support, in which vocals and trumpets compete with each other. When the trumpet was exhausted, Farinelli calmly continued to sing a fast cadenza with a vibrato, which impressed the trumpet and shocked the audience. Thereafter, the aria became a repertoire of Farinelli and made him famous.

Farinelli has a reputation for its pure, beautiful and flexible sound. Kuangtz, an authority on music at the time, commented: "He had excellent intonation, beautiful vibrato, great lung capacity, and a very flexible throat, so that he could sing long intervals with speed and without any difficulty in singing interstiticas or other types of phrases accurately and calmly."

Mancini, the master of bel canto singing, exclaimed: "It's so perfect, it's so infectious!" His voice is extremely loud and full of richness throughout the vocal range. In our time, we have not heard of anyone who can compare with him".

The audience even worshiped him, shouting frantically: "There is a God in the sky, and there is a farinelli on the earth!"

Not only was Farinelli unsurpassed in the art of singing, his voice and influence surpassed that of any previous singer, but he also possessed a noble personality and a modest character, which contrasted sharply with Caffarelli. Therefore he was the most brilliant and greatest eunuch singer of his time. Farinelli and Caffarelli marked the peak of operatic bel canto singing, dominated by eunuch singers.

Formal opera refers to the Italian opera that first appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries and was based on mythology and ancient heroic legends. Originally compared to Italian comedy, it later spread to Western European countries. Italian opera was formed in 1680 as a serious type of opera. It gradually declined in the 18th century and became a kind of historical name.

Operas often consist of only three acts, composed of recitatives and arias, with only six or seven characters, of which only three are primary, the soprano, tenor and baritone, sometimes with a second soprano. Each act can be divided into two parts (the first part is the plot, and the second part is the inner activities of the characters). The music is largely composed of alternating recitatives and arias (arias are solemn and delicate), and the libretto is in Italian, with little use of duets and choruses (duets are mainly duets), and no ballet. Each character has an aria, and the important role is often sung by a eunuch singer (also known as a eunuch, who castrates boys for musical purposes to create male sopranos and contraltos), in an ABA three-part aria.

Mozart (the Austrian composer) wrote two famous works in this style, Idomenius (1781) and The Mercy of Dito. Among them, "Idomenius" is based on the story of King Agamemnon in Greek mythology. It tells the story of King Idomenius of Crete who returned after the Trojan War and asked Prince Idamant to sacrifice to the god of the sea as a sacrifice of vows, and the prince's loyal love for the princess Elia of Troy moved the god of the sea and fulfilled the couple. The drama is enhanced by the use of many accompanied recitatives. There are also eunuch singers whose exquisite skills have conquered the world and won a high reputation.

In the back, the opera declined, and the eunuch singer also became history!

Until today, when Qin Fangge sings such a flowery tenor, he has shown as strong strength as a "eunuch singer", and even surpasses it. The praise that was used on Farinelli at the beginning can now also be used on Qin Fangge.

Compared with eunuch singers, Qin Fangge's timbre is more pure and beautiful, and his singing skills have absorbed countless rich experiences from his predecessors. He is also familiar with the history of music, and has seen the movie "The Peerless Enchantress", in the movie, Farinelli's singing voice is actually not sung by people, but synthesized by computer post-production, if someone can really sing it, it must be world-famous.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Qin Fangge, who has naturally excellent conditions, performed better than the legendary Farinelli, and there was no difficulty in dealing with all kinds of difficult techniques, such as long intervals, intermittent musical phrases, and ups and downs like now, the most dazzling flowers.

To the audience, Qin Fangge was like stepping on a tightrope, up and down, up and down, making people very worried, whether he was about to break his voice or couldn't sing.

Yu Dawei and the orchestra he conducted were responsible for the accompaniment, but this time, it was useless to put the score in front of them, a group of people listened and listened, first the performance was chaotic, and then they simply forgot their own work, stopped the instrument in their hands, and listened to Qin Fang sing and sing. Yu Dawei was also very helpless, no one listened to his command, but fortunately, this was not the first time, he simply stopped, and first satisfied his audio-visual feast......

Qin Fangge's side was not affected by the band in the slightest, and continued his own rhythm without accompaniment, these seemingly dangerous ups and downs of flowery tenors, the twists and turns on his way forward, were actually just a necessity to highlight his victory. There is no difficulty all the way, and the sense of accomplishment brought by it is definitely not as good as overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and finally successfully reaching the top is happier and more exciting.

There is no need to doubt whether Qin Fangge is a eunuch singer, and the name of this amorous goods is almost known to the world. Let Qin Fangge himself be among the two, and he can only choose one as a label, the answer is undoubtedly yes, what man likes to hear others say that he can't do it?

The most commendable thing is that when Qin Fangge was singing a flowery tenor, he was able to soar to the treble C in the end, but I don't know what the considerations are, there are only two notes to the treble C.

But this has already overjoyed the people present in the opera house, and even Zhou Xiuying didn't expect that Qin Fangge could do so well when he was practicing. She had also greeted him in advance and asked him to restrain himself, after all, the key is when he returns at night, and when he is rehearsing, it is no problem to lower the tone first. Those tenor singers in other people's countries still flatten their keys when they officially perform!

After Qin Fang finished singing the flowery tenor song for less than four minutes, there was a burst of professional and warm applause at the scene.

Even a responsible sweeping employee like Uncle Zhao can feel the incomparable beauty of this period, which is shocking and convincing.

The employees of the Grand Theaters of other countries have long been fans of Qin Fangge, and they have all seen too many tenor singers who can be compared with Qin Fangge, and Qin Fangge's performance is also well-deserved as the world's No. 1 tenor.

After listening to this flowery tenor, they felt that they should also add a prefix, "The most awesome tenor of all time!"

And after Zhou Xiuying, Shen Jianping, and Fan Qing stopped their applause, when they asked Qin Fang's song, he actually said, "If you sing and sing without accompaniment, you won't be able to stop it, just think about not dropping the chain when you return at night!"

Everyone present really knelt down completely, and it felt like he could keep such a good state at any time.
