Chapter 1429: Boiling
They are all classical music peers, although the personal evaluation criteria are different, and it is not an overnight effort to improve the level of the Grand Theater Orchestra.
But everyone was surprised to find that the level of the NCPA Orchestra seemed to have improved this time, at least, when playing the overture before the opera began, this was the case.
It may also be a factor that everyone is listening to this overture for the first time, but it is undeniable that the string group has always been the biggest advantage of Asian countries, and they have maintained it very well. The most obvious improvement is in the brass group, where the volume is too loud and easy to suppress others, and the volume is too small to have any effect, so it is often seen that the brass group is free from the whole orchestra. This time, the brass group was just right, which made all the audience present, even freshmen like Liu Yu and Qiu Min, feel very good, which is quite a rare thing!
The most important thing is that adhering to Qin Fangge's style of the king of melody, the melody of his overture is easy to hear and explode. This is true for the audience, but it is a bit doubtful for the general audience.
During the previous overture, Qin Fangge and a group of actors did not appear, and after the overture, the attendant was the first to appear to denounce his suffering and the shamelessness of his master Don Juan, and then it happened that Don Juan hooked up with Anna but was discovered by his father and found him to duel, and was unfortunately stabbed to death by Don Juan, all kinds of singing...... Well, that's how opera works, and people who are dying don't just swallow their breath. Sing a few more verses!
After Anna found out that her father had been killed, she vowed to find the murderer to avenge her father, and the spare tire man promised to look for the murderer with her before, and the first scene came to an end.
There are no big surprises in the plot, and the opera is like this, so it is not so easy for ordinary audiences to understand, and if it is more complicated, it will definitely drive away a large number of audiences.
The subtitles in the opera hall have also been opened synchronously, and thanks to the original translation of Qin Fang's song, the rolling subtitles can be completely synchronized, just like watching videos online, the audience can know what they are singing with a sweep.
I have to say that this kind of translation is really beneficial to Liu Yu and them, they are also learning Italian, but the level is not high, at this stage the main thing is to practice some basic pronunciation, focusing on some classic opera excerpts. Not everyone is as perverted as Qin Fangge, if you learn Italian so well, you can use it to compose!
The Japanese and Korean counterparts present also noticed this, but the Grand Theater synchronized Chinese subtitles, but did not provide them with Japanese and Korean services, not even English and Italian. There is a kind of "love to see, don't watch and roll" flavor in it. But it's quite easy for them to accept these crooked nuts, and there are quite a lot of kanji in the Japanese and Korean language families.
And the more powerful audience can directly understand the Italian sung by the opera singers on the stage, which is quite a good existence, and it will be easier and direct to understand, and there is no need to be distracted to read the subtitles, just focus on the performance on the stage.
Needless to say, Qin Fangge's demonic existence is needless to say, this time he is partnered with the top singers in China, all of whom have the experience of performing in European and American opera houses, with profound performance skills and strong vocal strength, and this time it is even more regarded as a formal performance. In the critical eyes of peers, it is unrealistic to want to be lazy.
For the audience of the opera house, it is really very pleasing to the eye.
Fan Qing, a bass who has been performing outside all the year round, performed quite amazingly when he played the squire Lepo Reno, and there are many tenor singers in China, and baritone and bass are much rarer.
The luxury is that in Qin Fangge's Don Juan, there are three bass singers alone. In addition to Fan Qing, who plays the squire, there is also Hua Ziyan, who plays Maceto, and Cao Jinhua, who plays Anna's father, who was killed by Don Juan. The only tenor is Donna Anna's fiancé Otavi, who doesn't have a lot of roles, but only relative to the other protagonists.
The plot continued to advance, and after Qin Fangge rested in the background for a while, he jumped out of all kinds of flirtatious girls, but this time he met the noblewoman Alvira who was abandoned by him, and after being recognized, the character of Don Juan had to flee in a hurry, leaving the attendant to top the thunder. But the attendant was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he sang to Alvira about all Don Juan's shameless and indecent acts, saying that she was "neither the first nor the last woman to be abandoned by my master." Then Leporeno, the chamberlain, took out a lot of small books and recorded the roster, and told Elvira about the brilliant exploits of his master, "Italy six hundred and forty, Germany two hundred and thirty, France one hundred, Turkey ninety-one, but Spain alone, there are already one thousand and three ......."
Not only was Elvira played by Shen Jianping dumbfounded, but the audience was also surprised by Don Juan's amorous nature, and the real thousand people were killed.
Then the attendant played by Fan Qing continued to denounce Don Juan's various absurd behaviors and hobbies, and also revealed his rhetoric, like what Goldilocks are kind and lovely, Black-haired Girls are loyal and tenacious, and White-Haired Girls are sweet and cute.
Angry, Alvira sings that she wants to seek revenge on Don Juan, so that more girls will not be deceived, and she is determined to stop his good deeds.
They were all the most professional audiences, and everyone applauded at the end of this show to express their excitement and joy, but it didn't last long, because the music played, and the third show officially began, and everyone expressed their respect.
And after getting rid of Elvila, Don Juan appeared again, taking the dog-legged attendant Leporeno, and met Celina, a peasant girl who was about to get married, on the farm where many opera singers sang and danced. At this point, Don Juan can really show his superb flirting skills and means, and he does not hesitate to use his own aristocratic status, singing and flirting humorously and elegantly, claiming to be a gentleman, taking care of his fiancée for Maceto, and successfully tricking Maceto away, and then hooking up with Zelina.
Zhou Hongxia, who plays Cai Lina, is the youngest of several soprano singers, and after wearing makeup and dressing, she looks as if she is twenty years younger, and she also interprets the image of a girl who is simple and kind but loves vanity and can't stand the deception of rhetoric.
Don Juan protected them as a nobleman, and also made kisses and hand gifts in the style of elegant aristocratic gentlemen, and also asked his attendants to bring out chocolate, coffee, wine and ham to entertain these peasants. It is also very much in line with the often talked about pickled girls, "Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian".
Pan An's appearance, the old driver of donkey goods understands it, Deng Tong-like wealth is to be rich, to have a sweet mouth and to coax people, and in the end you have to have time to flirt with your sister.
Qin Fangge is also full of aura here, and all kinds of flirtatious methods are unfolded, and the male compatriots wish that it was him.
The simple-minded Maceto is not stupid, and he is also worried that he will not be able to resist the green Nai, Don Juan has too many tricks, and turns his head and only scolds his fiancée Zelina for being a slut, which has become the source of his mistakes.
The scolded Zelina was naturally uncomfortable in her heart, and compared with the aristocratic and elegant and polite Don Juan, she was even more on the ground and in the sky. Zhou Hongxia is an old drama bone, when playing a role like Cai Lina, her performance expressions are very good, and everyone has been young.
While Don Juan praised Celina for her sweetness and cuteness, he did not forget to step on her fiancé Maceto and call him a fool.
Zelina is still a little reserved but also a little relaxed, reminding Don Juan that it is her fiancé.
Seeing this situation, Don Juan, a veteran of the love scene, showed his super flirting methods and skills, and continued to scold Maceto for saying that he was not worthy of Celina, and declared righteously that I, as a nobleman, would never allow a girl with a cute and beautiful face to be abused by a rough person like Maceto.
When Celina was still a little hesitant, Don Juan made another fierce and multi-pronged approach, saying that she was destined to no longer be a peasant when she met her, and then another rhetoric, saying that her "skin is like clotted fat and fragrant like a rose".
When Celina suspected that the nobles would not be loyal and honest with the peasant girls, Don Juan showed his brazen love for the saints, not only calling it a worldly slander, but also swearing by the glory of the nobility.
Then at the wonderful moment when the girls couldn't close their mouths and legs, Don Juan on the stage sang the most touching love song, the most beautiful aria, "Let's Hold Hands".
There are few women in the world who can withstand such bombardment, and Zelina is no exception, completely conquered by him, and successfully started, the existence of her fiancé Maceto, on the contrary, is a more exciting existence, everyone understands.
Even a cold goddess-like existence like Zhou Shiyu has accepted a lot of information in the current era of indiscriminate bombardment of all kinds of information, at least, it won't be said that it is not clear which one is singing. She also watched intently at the performances of the masters on the stage, Qin Fangge seemed to have completely integrated himself into the role of Don Juan, every move, word and deed showed infinite charm, and what was even worse was that when he sang the song, it made people's heartstrings even more moved.
A few cute girls from Japan, whose eyes are full of little stars, are finally literate, and they don't drool or scream loudly. There will always be romantic and beautiful imaginations in women's hearts, and this will be full of female audiences who substitute themselves for the role of Zelina on the stage, and they are also asking themselves. If she is Zelina, can you resist the temptation of Qin Fangge to eat fruits like this, the answer is basically no......
The male audience shouted in their hearts, and then wondered by the way, whether they could learn a few tricks and use them in their own actual combat in the future.
It's a pity that Don Juan's luck is too bad, and when he just wanted to achieve good things with Zelina, he was cut sideways by Elvira played by Shen Jianping, jumped out to expose his true colors, and the harem tearing battle was wonderful.
The so-called green man is always green, and Don Juan, who has a point to the extreme, is also a dog, but he does not sit still, and he is clever and clever, saying that Alvira loves him too much to the point of madness.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the knight captain Donna Anna Dai Xiao and her fiancé, who had killed her father by Don Juan, appeared to find a chivalrous guest to avenge her father. Shen Jianping Elvira continues her revenge on Don Juan, but is called a psychopath by Don Juan, but it also succeeds in making Anna suspicious of Don Juan.
The optimistic Don Juan did not give in, and after repeated defeats, he looked for an opportunity to talk to his attendants about how to continue to chase women at banquets for peasants.
The opening of the fourth scene is quite heavy, it is an inappropriate scene between Celina and her fiancé Maceto, especially when Zelina sings "Whip me!"
There are not a few female audiences who are red-faced, but Zhou Hongxia and Hua Ziyan on the stage are quite dedicated, of course, the scale is still somewhat restrained, and it is not good to teach bad children. Although children under one meter tall are not allowed to enter the opera during the performance.
Adults understand such lyrics and scenes, and there are many who are good at this or have a tendency to try. The stage performance is just for show, and Zelina expects to be forgiven by her fiancé.
What else can Maceto say!
"Of course I chose to forgive her!"
A fresh forgiveness hat was born.
The plot continues to develop, and the excitement continues, Don Juan adheres to the fine style of the love saint, never gives up, and continues to hook up with Zelina at the banquet, but the development of things is still unsatisfactory, and he is indeed unlucky, although Zelina was taken to the room by him, but at the last moment he "woke up" and screamed loudly to attract a group of onlookers.
Don Juan once again blamed Lepo Reno, a professional backstabber, but this time Celina stood up and exposed that Don Juan was the one who despised her, and in the end Don Juan could only end up running away again, and the others also sang that Don Juan's evil deeds would be punished in the end.
Before you know it, the hour-and-a-half-long performance of the first act has officially ended, and the half-hour break has begun.
The opera hall burst into applause without anyone taking the lead, giving the best respect, feedback and encouragement to the opera singers, orchestra members, conductors, directors, composers, and all kinds of staff who work hard but are unknown behind the scenes.
After the applause, the audience can take a break and go to the bathroom or something.
The opera singers who participated in the performance could also take a breather, and the members of the orchestra could get up and move.
Qin Fangge and the opera singers did not rest backstage, but went to the opera hall to communicate with the audience, mainly with the teachers and classmates of the conservatory, and it was not easy to organize everyone to come here. It's not as convenient as in the school concert hall, whether it's a vocal educator like Zhou Xiuying or Shen Jianping, or a singer like Fan Qing and Zhou Hongxia, they all hope that more talents can emerge in the conservatory of music.
When they appeared in the opera hall, it also made the opera hall more and more boiling.
