Xue Min and Xu Jing were even more concerned about the attendance of tonight's performance, He Ruyun looked around, and almost caused a commotion, Xi Wanqing smiled and said, "The opera house manager Camillo should be scolded very happily, those opera house members who didn't buy tickets must have a complaining ......."

"Qin Fangge's fame is really not small, this time he really wants to win glory for the country!" Xu Jing responded with a smile.

Xue Min was quite calm, "It's definitely not comparable to the popularity in China, and a lot of tickets have been sold tonight, so it's not a big problem to get together the remaining hundreds of people." After this opera performance is over, there will be no need to worry about attendance in the future. ”

He Ruyun also said happily, "No matter what, the name must be particularly loud, like the world's No. 1 tenor is particularly gimmicky, of course, it is also a fact!"

The performance has not officially started, and the audience is also entering the theater in June, and the opera hall is lively like a market, not only Xi Wanqing is talking, but other audiences are also chatting. A few of them don't speak very good Italian, but it's okay to listen to it, and when the audience around them discusses sounds like "q", they know who they are talking about!

The white-headed 60-year-old man sitting next to Xi Wanqing accosted her, first in Italian and then in English. Several of them have a good level of English, and the communication is much smoother.

The old man named himself Pedro, and he was a big fan of the Roman Opera House and a fan of the old opera. He had bought tickets for this show a long time ago, originally wanting to see Varano perform "Macbeth". Unexpectedly, Varano suddenly fell ill, and news came from the opera house, explaining that Qin Fangge, the "world's number one tenor", would replace him.

Pedro wasn't too surprised when he received the text message, and it wasn't uncommon for him to have performances at operas, piano recitals, and so on. As long as a replacement actor can be found, the organizer will basically not refund the ticket, and it is basically unrealistic for the audience to find compensation, although many viewers may buy tickets for a big name. Pedro's mentality is quite good, he still has a smile on his face, and said that there are no surprises in listening to Varano's performance, "I hope Qin's performance can bring us a different feeling." ”

Pedro's mentality actually represents that those audiences who bought this opera performance before, in the case of hopeless ticket refunds, can only expect Qin Fangge to surprise everyone. Pedro has heard Qin Fang's name before, but it is not easy to find his record in Italy, especially opera. When he is in China, he only performs an opera called "Alonso", but there are a few other piano records.

He also asked Xi Wanqing and them more about this opera singer Qin, who can make such a huge name as "the world's number one tenor", and his skills should not be much worse. Although the Roman Opera House is in decline and has made some unworthy publicity, Pedro still chooses to believe that the opera house has not lost its temperament.

Xi Wanqing told him with a smile that she didn't mind promoting it to foreign audiences, "The audience who bought tonight's performance has made a lot of money today! We have heard his opera "Alonso" performed in China, and the whole audience is full, and the ticket price is the highest in the world. After the whole opera, the audience, including me, stood and applauded for a long time......"

Pedro interrupted her anxiously, "Oh my God, beautiful lady, you really didn't lie to me? Xi Wanqing nodded and said yes, "Otherwise, how dare you call it the world's No. 1 tenor! I don't know if there are any relevant reports in Italian classical music magazines and newspapers!"

"I think I've seen it, but people don't seem to take it very seriously." I'm sorry, but I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings. ”

Not really, because only those who have been there and heard his singing will know how shocking it is, and they will no longer have the slightest doubt. That's why I said that tonight's audience was very lucky, he had a very small number of performances. Xi Wanqing still had a smile on her face, and they had expected such a situation. I don't blame them, those media boasted about such a once-in-a-century tenor, such a world's top tenor or something, so that the audience didn't know whether to believe it or not, especially the actual level is so bad.

"But what about the baritone he played tonight?" asked Pedro.

"He originally came to the Roman Opera House to exchange and study, but this time it was purely a temporary rescue performance of Macbeth, and if the audience was enthusiastic enough, he could also be invited to return and sing his best tenor aria. Xi Wanqing explained.

Pedro nodded and chatted with her for a while, and the topic was also focused on Qin Fangge. Xi Wanqing and the others are also happy to introduce more things about Qin Fangge to these foreign audiences, including the fact that he has not performed "Macbeth" before, and today is also the repeated request of the Roman Opera House, so he was ordered to perform on stage in danger.

Pedro suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he said this, he originally thought that Qin Fangge had rehearsed this opera before, and the Roman opera would let him play Macbeth! His expectations were also lowered a lot in an instant, and the tenor played the baritone, or in a hurry, he didn't ask too much, as long as it wasn't too bad. But in this way, it is really difficult for the audience like him to be present, if the response is not strong and enthusiastic, people will definitely not return, and they will not hear the title of the world's No. 1 tenor, which is particularly hateful.

Xi Wanqing didn't seem to notice this, and still helped Qin Fangge make various introductions, and also mentioned his original opera "Don Juan", which may appear at the 6 Roman Opera House in the future.

This made Pedro even more incredulous, if it was nice to have the best vocal cord in the world, he could actually write opera?

Xi Wanqing and the others all saw this doubt, and said conclusively that there was indeed such a thing, and they were currently in intense rehearsals, "It was directed by Mr. Zhou Xiuying, and the performance was at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Yanjing, China, at the end of May, and after the performance, you will know that I am not lying." ”

After living for a long time, Pedro instantly had such a thought in his heart, in this way, isn't this Qin Fangge more talented than an opera composer like Bellini? He has lived for so many years, and no one dares to blow the cowhide like him, but fortunately, he will soon be able to see the difference, no matter what he creates, he has to use his ears to personally identify the performance.
