In the Grand Theater of the Kingdom of Lentat, the nobles and magicians who enjoyed the interlude exchanged words and talked about this completely different form of opera.

Since the gradual popularity of opera, the structure of the division is the mainstream without any doubts, even if someone has made improvements, it is only fine-tuned, no one dares to directly abandon the exceptionally successful traditional mode of the division, and the nobles and commoners of the Kingdom of Holm have also become accustomed to this kind of opera, and like the solo songs in it. Choruses like to have an impact or an appealing aria, and as for the plot content of the opera itself, they often only know the general meaning of the story, which can be used to understand the emotions behind the singing and music.

As for the more detailed plot and more specific classic dialogue, they basically only fully understood the Tao and passed it on by word of mouth when they enjoyed the play of the same name later.

In the past, when the plot of the story was relatively simple and not compact, there was not much of a problem for them to enjoy the opera, enjoy the music, singing and basic story in it, but with the development of the drama, playwrights, including Oliver and other big names, created richer and more tortuous and moving stories, when people listen to the opera, there are often some songs independent of the plot, purely to show their skills, the music and the story began to be disconnected.

However, this contradiction is still in the development stage, and it has not yet reached the critical point where changes must be made, so after hearing the first scene of Lucien Evans's "Valkyrie" today, they could not adapt for a while, forgot the etiquette of listening to opera, and had a very lively discussion.

"The whole scene is a big part?" said Stephanie, the wife of Duke James, and Miss Duchess Jane next to her.

Jane's black hair has a bit of natural curls that meekly drape over her shoulders. Just like the feeling she gave people - in aristocratic circles, she was called a "quiet puppet".

"When it comes to participating, I think it's more like a symphony, the theme is what is contained in the prelude, and the line between recitative and aria seems to be blurred, only the classic monologue after the princess fled into the woods is the aria I can identify, and other times, the characteristics of the two seem to be confused......" Jane introduced Stephanie in detail.

For the first time in a previous opera, she felt that the plot story and the musical melody were so harmonious. Although there are too many discomforts. But the whole person is completely immersed in the atmosphere they have created together, worrying about what happened to the princess, hating the cruel new king, and hating the sinister prime minister. Sympathize with the martyred faithful maids. In such a feeling. Every singing, every melody, seems to sound in my heart. Constantly beating on his heart, it is extraordinarily beautiful and full of infectiousness.

It wasn't until the interlude sounded that Jane slowly recalled the opera and recounted the improvements in it, such as some recitatives with more singing qualities, and arias sometimes with the characteristics of recitation......

After Stephanie and Duke James next to her quietly listened to Jane's introduction, they said amused and relieved: "A scene is a symphony? ”

There, the light of the symphony overshadowed everything else, and when they talked about music, they preferred to call Lucien a master.

After a heated discussion, the nobles all had their own opinions, and most of them thought that although they were a little uncomfortable, at least for now, the first act of "Valkyrie" was above the standard, and the aria of the princess reminiscing about her parents, maids and enemies after escaping from danger was enough to be called a classic, and it was a rare good song in recent years.

The master is indeed the master!

In the box, in the face of Oliver's question, Lucien told him with a smile about his creative concept, and there was a sense of pride in his heart, although this improvement was reformed by Mr. Wagner on the earth, but the plot, melody, song and structural design of this opera were all created by himself!

Listening to Lucian's answer, Oliver was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I like this concept very much, music and singing should serve the content of the plot, and the musicians who adapted the opera for my script before just couldn't understand this simple truth, so they were always unable to create an opera that satisfies everyone, so I have never liked their adaptation, if only I could have collaborated with you in the opera earlier." ”

Lucien had expected Oliver to have a certain degree of conservative attitude towards such a great change, but he was slightly surprised that he accepted it so easily, but he was relieved that he was a playwright, and the emphasis on the plot as the leading role was obviously very much to his taste, and he sat in the right place.

Next to her, Natasha hummed the princess's monologue, while Fernando tapped on the armrest, as if expecting the next scene to begin.

............

The small town of Samara, Baron Bechger's Square.

In the face of such an opera that subverts the past form, the citizens fell silent for a while, to say that it is not good, when I listened to the first act just now, I and the others were completely immersed in it, and they were completely moved by the story, by the characters, by the music melody, and by the singer's singing.

"This is certainly the trend in the development of opera, and His Excellency 'Atomic Master' is a master of music, and his vision is comparable to that of us?" suddenly exclaimed an avid symphony lover.

His voice broke the momentary solidification, and the citizens burst into an uproar:

"Yes, yes, how can we compare our knowledge to the great musicians?"

"The opera just now is indeed better than before, well, it is much better!"

"It turns out that top singers and opera singers are like this, and what I have heard in the past is simply incomparable!"

"One appearance is enough for you to earn a year!"

......

Banus looked at the splendid Kingdom Theater on the "curtain", and was rare and deep: "Before today, I never thought that I could see and hear the top singers and opera singers performing, which is the right of the high aristocracy, but now, everything is so easy, we can even see the opera in the Kingdom Theater in Samara, the magic is amazing." And the difference it brings is something we can enjoy!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to the 'magical civilization' promoted by the 'Voice of Mysteries', maybe in the future, we won't have to go out, and we can see the situation in Rentat, maybe ......" The images and sounds on the "curtain" are constantly changing, making Ali's eyes obsessed, this is the power of the gods preached by the church in the past!

Thinking of the earth-shaking changes brought about by magic, and thinking of the changes around him, Ali was faintly depressed, and everything was moving forward at a rapid pace. And what about himself? Stay in the town forever. Growing old without surprise like your father and grandfather?

The prelude to the second act of "Valkyrie" begins to play, and there is a warm feeling in the intensity and tension, which makes people look forward to it.

In this scene, Princess Amantha encountered a lot of dangers in the forest. Gradually grow into a true knight. And then. During a chase with a disparity in strength, she fell off a cliff and was seriously injured. Nearly died, but was saved by a powerful knight passing by.

The knight was a young and handsome man, he sympathized with the princess's plight, stayed behind to teach the princess, and worked with her to deal with the king's pursuit.

In a love song sung by a man and a woman, the second act slowly comes to an end.

While listening to the opera, Ali looked at the drama hall with a few pictures in the "live broadcast", looking at the nobleman, with a sweet smile on her face, is she also listening to the opera, does she also feel warm and peaceful because of the love story between the princess and the knight, even if there are many dangers, there are solid backs to rely on each other, do you also remember the quiet and happy mood every time you write a letter......

He fantasized a lot, and after the end of the second act, his mouth kept humming the song he had just played.

The third act unfolds in a high-spirited prelude that seems to contain a dangerous storm, as the princess and the knight embark on a journey to restore their kingdom, meet their companions, find the knight who is still loyal to the old king, and in the process, there is also danger, which makes a blonde knight fall in love with the princess and cut off his left arm for her.

"Love makes me unable to control my ......," the blonde knight confesses in a touching aria.

When the audience was worried about the deterioration of love, the princess also responded with an aria: "...... You're as perfect as the sun, not what I like and expect......"

After the love is tested, the princess seems to have matured, and together with her lover, she leads the knights to attack the new king and the prime minister, which is a melodic story, the increasingly determined princess defeats the enemy, and hangs the villain who made the audience hate three acts on the gallows in a triumphant music.

But at this moment, a hidden storm descended, the wind howled, the thunder roared, and the curse of the new king before the temporary revealed the identity of the princess's lover, who turned out to be the prince of a neighboring country, and he was going to occupy the country with the help of the princess's restoration!

And in this process, the love is uncontrollable, but he still chooses his own country in the end, and in the thunder created by the drums, the sound of horses and cheers imitated by the sound of trumpets, the two of them draw their weapons.

"Why do you ...... like this?"

"The love that was so sweet before ......"

The audience felt a heart-wrenching pain at the end of the third act, and Ali was even more in a trance, looking at the Grand Theater with a pale face, as if he could understand the princess's feelings, that it was a gap that could not be crossed, that was a bond that had to be cut with his own hands.

The prelude at the beginning of Act IV erupts in a vivid and powerful intensity in the midst of oppression, as if to foreshadow the princess's charge.

This piece of music is the most classic one since the performance of "Valkyrie", which suddenly aroused the emotions and enthusiasm of the audience.

"This opera can be called a classic just by this piece of music...... Oliver nodded in agreement.

The battle between the princess and the prince ended, and the prince fell to the ground and sang a wandering and poignant monologue, while the princess raised her sword.

"Will you kill him?"

"It can't be so cruel, ......"

In the midst of the uncontrollable discussion, Natasha in the box suddenly let out a long sigh.

The sword fell, the prince died, a mournful melody was played, and the princess sang an aria of mourning but not sadness.

And Ali, who witnessed the sword and heard this melody, had a face like ashes, which seemed to foreshadow the end of his inner fantasy, he was even farther away from her than the prince and princess of the neighboring kingdom, and the story was over before it began, and she didn't have to swing the sword with her own hands, because she didn't even have a chance to play......

The tragic love is extremely sad, but the princess who wielded this sword is remembered by everyone, and at this time, the tense and depressed melody sounded again, and the follow-up knights of the neighboring country have arrived, it turns out that they have long become prisoners of darkness and servants of an evil dragon, and they want to occupy the princess's country for the treasure that the evil dragon needs!

The princess restrained her grief and led the Knights to the attack again, and just as they were about to triumph, the wind of musical instruments sounded and a great monster descended on the stage.

It has a lizard-like head, a strong body, and its whole body is covered with transparent scales, and the same beautiful transparent wings spread out on its back, and they shimmer with a cold and dreamy glow in the light of the light.

It exudes an unimaginable majesty that makes the opera crew fall to the ground with their legs limp, and their singing is choppy.

"Really, really a dragon?" the nobles of the theater were about to widen their eyes.

Banus and Ali and others forgot to close their mouths when they opened their mouths wide, and this is also an opera singer?

The dragon wore different gemstone rings on his ten fingers, a crown in his hair, and a cloak made of gold, as if he had just robbed a treasure trove.

"Hand over your treasures!" it sang.

In the box, Lucien smiled: "I spent a lot of money to get Little Crystal to appear, and it is the most expensive opera singer in history......" (To be continued......)
