Chapter 1169: Prestige
After the passion, Mendel's expression was soothed, and he conducted the orchestra to play the last soothing piece of the first half, which ended with a bright clarinet.
After that, the rhythm was soothed, and the audience also woke up from their previous intoxication, but the more this happened, the more difficult it was for them to suppress the excitement of their emotions.
Just waiting for the last note, the audience who was familiar with the opera couldn't wait to stand up and slap their palms hard, and in an instant, the entire audience in the opera hall followed suit. No one is far behind, and if you still have to sit still, you will definitely be looked down upon and think that you don't understand opera.
Thunderous applause to the opera singers and orchestra who had just given them a wonderful performance.
Qin Fangge and the other opera singers had already stepped back from the stage, but the audience's enthusiastic applause was calling for their return. It was only the first half, so there was no intention of calling them back, and everyone didn't speak, just applauded to express their excitement.
In the applause that was about to tear down the roof, Qin Fangge and a group of opera singers also politely returned to the stage to thank everyone for their support. This is also their most meaningful moment as opera singers, even if Qin Fangge himself does not enjoy such applause, he has to give other opera singers a chance. And, it's a really good feeling.
Look at the audience below the stage, whether it is a high-ranking official or a celebrity, a wealthy businessman or an ordinary person, they are applauding and praising you, and what moves them is not fame and fortune or beautiful food, but pure artistic performance, music, one of the most beautiful things in time, and one of the things that can best convey inner emotions.
After some tossing, although Qin Fangge did not pretend to be a high-ranking singer who didn't like applause, he still made a call for everyone to have a good rest, and he and other opera singers also had to take a break between them. After an hour-long performance, it is not possible to say whether the audience is more tired or the opera singers are more tired. But there's no doubt that everyone's in a super good mood right now, and that's enough!
Qin Fangge didn't have much interaction with the audience on stage, so he went backstage to rest.
However, he was not quiet backstage, and the opera director Berdych, as well as other behind-the-scenes staff, as well as singers such as Ness and Adolf, who performed with him, had no intention of letting him go. They all smiled and congratulated him on his perfect performance in the first half, and Berdych specifically mentioned his arrangement of five high notes, "For singers, high notes are not everything, but without such wonderful high notes, it would never have received such warm applause today." Qin, your surprise for everyone is too great!"
"When we performed on stage, we felt even more empathy, how could such a beautiful singing voice not make people crazy!" Ness, who co-starred with him in the lyric soprano, also praised him with a smile, after a few days of rehearsals, she and Qin Fangge are also quite familiar. Off the stage, he is actually very talkative, and he has no arrogant and arrogant personality at all, he is very good to everyone, of course, he is also quite characterful. Especially in terms of artistic insistence, the adaptation was proposed by him and Zhou Xiuying.
Of course, Zhou Xiuying was not in the background at this moment, but was invited to the box by Yu Hongchong, the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in the Czech Republic, and his wife. She won't play a role in the background, she does everything she needs to do perfectly, and she deserves to enjoy glory and praise.
"When Qin is on stage, he is more attractive than when he is rehearsing! I think he was born for the stage. "Adolf is a signed baritone singer of the Czech National Opera who played Qin Fangge's best friend at night, his strength is quite good, and his performance at night is also very good, it seems that when Qin Fangge is there, he can arouse everyone's performance**.
Qin Fangge was naturally still modest for a while, saying that it was everyone's joint effort, not just himself, and joked, "If I sang directly with the microphone, I would definitely not share this credit with everyone!"
A group of people laugh and sing directly with the microphone, for opera singers, when they are attending commercial events, before they can sing opera, everyone basically doesn't think about it.
After praising each other, everyone backstage also took a break, and those who should have changed their costumes had to change their costumes, and they had to prepare for the second half of the performance, which was also a performance of more than an hour.
Originally, the opera director Forman wanted to invite Qin Fangge and them to a cocktail party, but he didn't agree, and it was better to rest for half an hour to recharge his energy than to go to a banquet to socialize.
In the opera hall, when the applause stopped, the cheers and other praises rang out from all corners, mingling with each other, very different from the previous scene.
The audience expressed their irrepressible feelings in their hearts, and after listening to such a wonderful performance, if they didn't feel anything, they would really be blind. Not to mention, most people were moved to tears, even those who thought they were iron-blooded men.
When performing in the opera hall, mobile phones are not allowed, video recording and taking pictures are not allowed, and everyone follows the rules, if you want to be named by the theater staff or other audiences, it will be very embarrassing, thinking that you are not cultivated and rude, and you will not be able to raise your head in the future.
But at half-time, there were no such restrictions.
In addition to communicating with each other, the audience can also share it with their friends through social networks and media. Although the opera performance is not over yet, this does not affect the excitement of the audience, and they all know that it is basically impossible for the second half of the performance to have a high C. If you return, it is possible, but if Qin Fangge is willing to return or not, it must depend on the performance of the audience, if the applause is not warm enough and the attitude is not sincere enough, there will basically be no play.
Most of the audience here are opera fans, even pseudo-opera fans, who know such rules.
It is most normal for ordinary viewers to turn on their mobile phones and post some status when they are communicating with each other and sharing their feelings.
Soon, there was information about this opera performance on the Internet, "Perfect performance, wonderful adaptation, five treble C in two minutes, Qin is a well-deserved king of treble!"
"Qin's charm is full of personality, and he has a lot of personality on the stage, and I was moved to tears by the treble C for more than ten seconds!
"Oh my God, I can't believe it, I really witnessed a miracle with my own eyes, Qin is simply the incarnation of God, his highc simply frightens me, makes my scalp tingle, and even my body is trembling with it!"
"Qin Juedu is the illegitimate son of God, otherwise, how could he sing such a moving heavenly sound, which makes me feel like I have arrived in heaven!"
Many music critics couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and directly expressed their thoughts on social networks, "Qin's singing voice is full of emotion, contains the sun, is bright and pure, has a stunning charm, and is the greatest singing voice in history, there is no one!"
"Qin used his wonderful performance to prove that he is indeed the world's number one tenor!"
"A well-deserved musical genius! Qin not only has the most beautiful voice in the world, but also the most imaginative and creative mind, and his successful adaptation has raised this "La Bohème" to a higher level! I sympathize with the tenors behind me, how should they interpret this opera with five treble C, and the last one is eleven seconds long!"
Chen Dong, a CCTV reporter, did not forget his work and responsibilities while being passionate, and wrote a press release and sent it back as soon as possible. It was the first time he listened to Qin Fangge's performance on the spot, and it was also the first time to witness the highc known as the forbidden area for tenors, even if he didn't have a good sense of musicality, but in such an atmosphere, he could also feel the incomparable beauty!
However, Chen Dong did not write much about his own feelings, but wrote about what he saw and heard, and the scene where the ordinary audience around him burst into tears, and he himself shed a few tears. During the intermission, they praised Qin Fang's songs, and they were also all kinds of "ohmygod!" Ahh incredible", "fantastic" and so on.
He also had a brief chat with the audience around him, this middle-aged man in his forties claimed to be an opera fan, and he would completely become a fan of Qin Fangge, saying that it was the first time he had heard it, "Such a shocking, intoxicating, brilliant tenor! Qin is the pride of your China and the pride of the world!"
Chen Dong recorded all his observations and soon passed them back to China, and after the whole opera was over, he would make further detailed reports.
Zeng Zhiping and Zou Hong, who were mixed with the general audience, were also communicating with each other, and they also felt the charm of art, the language of human hearts. Zeng Zhiping sighed, "I feel that my body was not my own at that time, I was resonating with his singing, and I was unconsciously following the singing, although I couldn't understand what it meant!"
"It feels the same way, I don't even have time to read the subtitles......! Especially when the feeling is really refreshing, no wonder everyone likes to listen to tenor singers challenge their limits!" Zou Hong and Zeng Zhiping were both rookies who had never started, but this time, they felt that they seemed to have found some way, and after listening to this half of the opera, they couldn't help but like the opera. If you go out to brag in the future, you will also have sufficient capital! Such an opportunity is not something that anyone can get.
They both communicate in Chinese, but they don't have to worry about revealing stuffing, when there are other audiences around them to ask them more news about Qin, when they are lame, they also blow Qin Fang's song to be unique in the sky and earth, and their popularity in China is unrivaled, such remarks are still quite marketable. Foreigners also seem to agree with their statements, and after listening to his performance, they are now completely his fans.
This was not unexpected by Zeng Zhiping, but listening to them say this, I was very happy in my heart. Moreover, this is not an isolated case, they themselves have successfully been circled!
Of course, Zeng Zhiping and Zou Hong did not forget to inquire about more news, but they plan to invite Qin Fangge to be the spokesperson and open up a broader international market, so it seems that things are promising! Especially in European and American countries, the popularity of classical music is not bad, Qin Fangge has super strength, as long as the marketing can keep up, it is completely feasible to create a tenor miracle!
These foreigners are also very talkative, and after Qin Fangge convinced them with his strength, all kinds of boastful words were endless, and he also expressed that he wanted to hear more of his performances.
Zeng Zhiping and the others also looked up at the box upstairs, and a large number of people such as the president and prime minister of the Czech Republic did not seem to leave to attend the reception or anything, but stayed in the box to chat. This is an extremely rare situation, Zeng Zhiping is even pondering, when he came out in the end, it was not that he had other purposes, and there were also many of these political leaders.
But the difference is that Czech President Minaš, First Lady Ivana, Czech Prime Minister Sobotka, Senate President Štekh, House of Representatives President Hamáček, Prague Mayor Šlekhtova and other large votes, but often come to the Czech National Opera to listen to opera. The level of music literacy and appreciation can surpass Zeng Zhiping's two bosses, even ordinary audiences can easily tell how high Qin Fangge's performance level is tonight!
In order to enjoy this opera performance, Minash and the others have pushed off a lot of planned work, and their arrangements are relatively intensive. But tonight's performance made them feel that it was completely worth it! The outward manifestation was that Minas Sobotka and other men wanted to have a very happy conversation with Ambassador Yu Hongchong, and the issues discussed were also relatively in-depth.
The first lady Ivana and the mayor Schlechtova chatted happily with Zhou Xiuying and Zhao Yanling. Even if they are politicians, Ivana is more emotional than rational in their hearts, not to mention that they can completely relax and enjoy the charm of art. You don't have to be like a man, with your mind full of political responsibilities at work and stuff like that.
Words of praise Ivana They have already said too much, what a genius, godlike or something, they also asked Zhou Xiuying more about her protégé Qin Fangge, and also expressed their hope that they would have more opportunities to hear his performance.
Zhou Xiuying responded with ease and pleasure, and she heard too many words of praise, when she was in China, everyone praised Qin Fangge to the sky. She also knows very well that the situation at home and abroad is very different, and Qin Fangge's reputation in China is much higher than that abroad. Although some foreign counterparts were invited to China at the beginning, if they really wanted to make a name for themselves abroad and improve their prestige, they still had to go abroad. In this way, the prestige of performing an opera abroad grows even faster. After all, many people don't believe they haven't seen and heard with their own eyes, even if it's true.
On behalf of Qin Fangge, Zhou Xiuying thanked them for their support, and also talked about the cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the Czech National Opera, telling them that he would soon come to Prague again to perform his symphonies and operas, which also made Ivana and the others look forward to it more and more.
