End of Section 1107
Listening to opera in a box is actually not very comfortable for professional opera fans, because it is difficult to see the whole stage, and you need to lean forward. Net?
But the advantage is that people sitting in the ordinary audience can easily see the people sitting in the box, which can satisfy the psychology of some people, not only to watch the opera, but also to let others watch them sit in the box.
The music director of an opera house like Domenico should have been present on such an occasion, but he was not at all interested in such a reception. He prefers to focus on the art and make this Macbeth opera the best it can be. But he didn't dare to put too much pressure on Qin Fangge, and Qin Fangge didn't need pressure at all, as far as the performance in the first half was concerned, it was perfect.
Originally, they were a little worried about his relationship with the other opera singers, but after the half-time performance, Suzanne and the others threw themselves into him. They had all seen how he rehearsed, and he didn't have to lie about it, "Macbeth" was not rehearsed in every opera house. He went directly to the stage to perform after this first rehearsal, not to mention anything else, this courage alone is worthy of everyone's admiration.
In addition to the time spent practicing with everyone, they had to put in more effort in private, which was incomparable to a genius like Qin Fangge.
What is especially commendable is that Qin Fangge does not have the unruliness of a genius, and Lao Tzu is the first in the world and no one looks down on him. When others joke with him, he is also smiling and amiable.
During the intermission, Qin Fangge didn't rush to rehearse with everyone, so he really had a good rest with Domenico Cosimo and Suzanne and other opera singers, telling jokes or something. Everyone worked very happily together in the first half, and we all hope that the second half of the performance will continue to be in such a good state.
The conductor of the orchestra, Cosimo, like Domenico, was not in the mood to attend the cocktail party held by Camillo, and it was estimated that Qin Fangge would come to perform at the Roman Opera House in the second half of the year, and the two of them would no longer work here! They were quite open-minded, and they all said that no matter what, they would definitely come to listen to Qin Fangge's performance at that time.
Qin Fangge also smiled and thanked them for their support, Suzanne also jokingly asked him about the missing soprano, he laughed and said that he was afraid that he couldn't afford to invite a famous role like her, but Suzanne was just joking, his opera "Don Juan", the performance personnel are all Chinese.
The other opera singers didn't deliberately jump out to make trouble, Qin Fangge's previous soaring high C was particularly shocking, even the most powerful in it, the actor of Markduff, the tenor Bardolio, was also convinced. When Bardolio was young and vigorous, he could also sing to the high C and even higher to the high F. But the effect that came out, whether it was timbre or volume, as well as the degree of continuity and stability, and even the way of sounding, could not be compared with Qin Fang's song at all.
Badolio himself also knew that if he had the same conditions as Qin Fangge, he would definitely have won the title of No. 1 in the world a long time ago, and he would have become famous! A genius like Qin Fangge would not be convinced.
Half an hour passed, and orchestra conductor Cosimo took the lead to open the second half of the performance amid applause. Qin Fangge didn't have to be on stage so early, and he could chat with Suzanne Bardolio and them backstage. They are all veteran performers of this opera, and they are very familiar with the road, and they don't have to worry about anything wrong with the performance.
The scene of the third act is in the cave of the witches, a dark and psychedelic place, where the witches or elves live an unusual life, singing and cooking potions. A ballet was also arranged.
After being reminded by Domenico, Qin Fangge appears, and his character Macbeth, who is uneasy about the future, visits the witches again and asks them to ask the ghost what his future holds.
The witches also uttered some specious prophecies and warnings, such as telling him to keep an eye on Makduff, saying that no one who conceived in October could hurt him, that as long as Banan's forest did not move, he would not be defeated, and that he would maintain his current glory, etc.
Completely in the position of F1AG, Macbeth is not satisfied, and continues to ask the witch about the situation behind him. When he saw the phantom of the king behind him, there was a descendant of Banquo who held a mirror to show off, and he was even more panicked. Lady Macbeth also appears, and the two sing together and vow to find Banquo's son and cut the roots.
Finally, in the fourth act, the witches' F1AG takes effect, and the fugitives who have been hunted by Macbeth gather to sing songs of longing for their homeland and vow to seek revenge on Macbeth. They cut down the trees of the forest and hid their bodies with branches, which became the prophesied moving forest, revealing Macbeth's defeated fate.
Lady Macbeth sleepwalks because of her "troubled conscience" and sings the very famous sleepwalking aria in an attempt to wash the blood from her hands.
Macbeth faced the alliance formed by Malcom, the son of the former king Duncan, and after receiving the news of the death of his wife, although he was uncertain, he still led his army to fight them.
In the final battle, Macdoff, a premature baby who was less than ten months pregnant, revealed his secret, and Macbeth, who had already believed in the prophecy, was suddenly distraught and was killed by Macdoff taking the opportunity, ending his life of ups and downs.
The rest of the plot has nothing to do with Qin Fangge, and the other opera singers sing in unison to celebrate the victory and embrace Malcom as the new king.
The plot of this opera is actually not complicated, you can understand it with a little understanding of the background, and if you really listen to it live, it is easy to understand. Of course, if you want to understand the meaning of music in it more deeply, you need a higher level of musical literacy.
Like Deng Lijuan and Ren Yu, audiences who listen to Qin Fangge's live opera for the first time can also roughly understand what kind of plot is being performed on the stage by doing homework in advance and the teleprompter in front of the seat. Macbeth's process from hero to king-killing and then to self-destruction, the psychological changes during this period are also where Bellini focuses on his portrayal.
Qin Fangge played this performance very well, and perfectly portrayed the high-spirited Macbeth, who had returned triumphantly, from hearing the witch's language to change step by step through singing and performance. It also made the audience really feel that they were enjoying an epic opera. If they were Macbeth, would they be able to withstand the temptation to believe the prophecies that came true one by one, and thus follow the path of Macbeth?
If you really want to explore carefully, you may not be able to explain it clearly by writing a few books, but for the current audience, as long as it is valuable to listen to, it is worthy of their applause and applause.
