Vol 6 Chapter 57: The most expensive opera actor in history
In the Bolentat Kingdom Theatre, the nobles and magicians admiring the interlude music whispered to each other, and they talked about this completely different form of opera.
From the gradual popularity of opera, the parting structure is the mainstream without any doubt. Even if some people have made improvements, they just fine-tune it. No one dares to directly abandon the partly successful traditional model. The Holm Kingdom ’s Nobles and civilians have also become accustomed to this kind of opera. They like a solo or chorus inside it, and they like impactful or infectious arias. As for the plot content of the opera itself, they often only know about it and can use it Just understand the emotions behind singing and music.
As for more detailed plots and more specific classic dialogues, they basically knew and passed word of mouth when they later enjoyed the drama of the same name.
This was in the past when the story was relatively simple and not compact enough. There was no big problem. It did not prevent them from enjoying the opera, the music, singing and basic stories. However, with the development of the drama, the playwrights including Oliver and other big names created A richer and more tortuous story has emerged. When people listen to operas, they often have a part of singing that is independent of the plot, and is purely showing their skills. The music and the stories begin to become disconnected.
However, this contradiction is still in the development stage, and the critical point of making changes is not yet reached. Therefore, after hearing the first act of Valkyrie created by Lucian Evans today, they were unable to adapt for a while and forgot to listen. The etiquette of the opera was discussed very lively.
"The whole scene is a big part?" Stephanie's wife, Duke James, talked to Jane, the youngest sister, Chalk.
Jian Jian's black hair has a little natural curl, and she draped meekly on her shoulders, just like her own feeling-in the aristocratic circle, she was called a "quiet doll".
"Speaking of parting, I feel more like a symphony, the theme is the content of the prelude, and the demarcation between narrative and aria seems to be blurred. Just now the classic monologue after the princess fled into the woods was I can confirm the aria. At other times, the characteristics of the two seem to be confusing ... "Jane introduced to Stephanie carefully.
For the first time in her previous opera, she felt that the plot story and the music melody were so harmonious. Although there were too many discomforts, the entire person was fully devoted to the atmosphere they co-created, worried about the encounter of the princess, and hatred the cruel new king. Hate the insidious prime minister, the loyal maid who sympathizes with the martyrdom. Under such a feeling, every sing and every melody sounds in his own heart, constantly pounding his own atrium, which is exceptionally beautiful and infectious.
Until the interlude melody started, Jane slowly recalled the opera just now. Some improvements in the narrative included, for example, some of the narrative tunes with more singing characteristics, and the aria sometimes brought the characteristics of recitation ...
Stephanie and the Duke of James next to her quietly listened to Jane's introduction, and then laughed and said with relief: "A scene is a symphony? It is indeed Master Evans from Aalto."
When I was there, the light of the symphony obscured everything else, and when they talked about music, they preferred to call Lucian a master.
After the heated discussion, the nobles had their own opinions. Most of them thought that although it was a bit unsuitable, at least the first act of Valkyrie was still above the standard. The princess recalled her parents, maid and Enemies, arias that feel their own situation are more than enough to be called classics, and they are rare good songs in recent years.
Master is indeed a master!
In the box, in the face of Oliver's questions, Lucian smiled and told him his creative ideas, and he was quite proud. Although this improvement was brought about by Mr. Wagner's reform of the opera on earth, this opera The plot, the melody, the song, and the structural design are all created independently!
After listening to Lucien's answer, Oliver gave a stun and then said with a smile on his face: "I like this idea very much. Music and singing should serve the plot content. The musician who previously adapted the opera for my script just couldn't understand this. The simple reason is that I ca n’t always create operas that satisfy everyone, so I do n’t like their adaptations very much. It would be nice if I could work with you earlier. ”
Lucian originally thought that Oliver would have a certain degree of conservative attitude towards this great change. Who knew he had accepted it so easily? He was slightly surprised, but immediately relieved that he was a playwright, and it was obviously very important to emphasize the plot as the leading role. It fits his taste and he sits upright.
Natasha hummed the princess's monologue next to her, and Fernando tapped the handrail gently, as if looking forward to the beginning of the next scene.
Uh ...
The small town of Samara, the Baroque Bechge wide chalk field.
Faced with such an opera that subverted the past, the citizens fell into silence for a while. To say badly, when I listened to the first act just now, I was completely immersed in myself and others, being told by stories, being encountered by characters, and being melodic by music. I was completely impressed by the singer's singing, but to say yes, I always felt weird. Opera should not be like this.
"This must be the trend of opera development. His master‘ Atomic Control 'is a master of music. Can he compare his vision? "Suddenly said an avid symphony enthusiast.
His voice broke the short-term coagulation, and the citizens made a noise:
"Yeah, yeah, how does our knowledge compare with the big musicians?"
"The opera just now sounds better than ever, well, it's much better!"
"It turns out that the top singers and opera actors are like this. I can't compare them in the past!"
"The money they play once is enough for you to make a year!"
Uh ...
Banus watched the magnificent Kingdom Theatre on the "Curtain", rare and deep: "Before today, I never thought I could see and hear the performance of the top singers and opera actors. This is a higher aristocracy. Only the right, but now, everything is so easy to achieve, we can even see the opera in the Kingdom Theatre in Samara, magic is really amazing, and the changes it brings can actually let us enjoy ! "
"Well, I am looking forward to the" magical civilization "promoted by the" Voice of Mystery ". Maybe in the future, we can see the situation of Lentart without going out, maybe ..." The image and sound on the "curtain" Constant change makes Ali's eyes obsessed. This is the power of the gods proclaimed by the church in the past!
Thinking of the earth-shaking changes brought about by magic, and the changes around him, Ali is a bit depressed, and everything is moving forward rapidly, but what about himself? Stay in the town forever and grow old without surprise, like fathers and grandfathers?
前 The prelude to the second act of "Valkyrie" begins to play. There is a warm feeling in the intense and tense, making people look forward to it.
In this scene, Princess Amansha encountered many dangers in the forest, and gradually grew into a real knight. Then, in a chasing after disparity, she fell off the cliff, was seriously injured, and almost died, but was passed by. Saved by the mighty knight.
This knight is a young and handsome man. He sympathized with the princess's experience, and stayed to teach the princess, and together with her to deal with the king's pursuit, in the experience of going through difficulties again and again, two hearts slowly approached, The spark of love gradually erupted, and a layer of color that felt warm from the inside was added to the intense atmosphere of this scene, so that the audience seemed to find motivation and support, and began to look forward to a bright future.
In the love song of a male and female chorus, the second act slowly came to an end.
While listening to the opera, Ali watched the drama hall with a few pictures in the "Live" and looked at the nobleman with a sweet smile on her face. Is she also listening to the opera? The love story between the princess and the knight feels warm and peaceful. Even if there is more danger, they also have solid backs that can rely on each other. Do you also think of the tranquility and comfort in writing each letter ...
He had a lot of fantasies. After the second act, he kept humming the song just now.
The third act begins in a prelude that is exhilarating but seems to contain dangerous storms. The princess and the knight embarked on the journey of reunification. They met a companion and found a knight who remained loyal to the old king. In the process, danger was also indispensable, which made a blonde knight fall in love with the princess as well and cut off her left arm for the princess.
"Love makes me unable to control myself ..." The blonde knight confessed with a moving aria.
When the audience was worried about the deterioration of love, the princess also responded with an aria: "... you are as perfect as the sun, but not what I like and expect ..."
After the test of love, the princess seemed to be more mature. Together with her lover, she led the knights to attack the new king and prime minister. This is a melodious story. The increasingly determined princess defeated the enemy. In the triumphant music The villain who made the audience hate the three acts was hung on the gallows.
But at this moment, when the hidden storm fell, the wind howled, the thunder roared, and the temporary curse of the new king revealed the princess's lover's identity. It turned out that he was the prince of a neighboring country. !!
爱情 In this process, love is beyond control, but he chose his own country at last. In the thunder created by drum sounds, the riding sounds and cheers imitated by the horn sound, the two pulled out their own weapons.
"Why is this ..."
"So sweet love before ..."
The audience felt a kind of heart-wrenching pain at the end of the third act. Ali was even more embarrassed. Looking at the Grand Theater with a pale face, it seemed that he could appreciate the princess ’mood. Stumbling.
一 The prelude at the beginning of Act 4 broke out in the depression, and the fierce birth was intense. It seemed to herald the princess' charge.
音乐 This piece of music is the most classic one since the performance of Valkyrie, which roused the audience's emotions and enthusiasm.
"Only this piece of music, this opera can be called a classic ..." Oliver nodded in agreement.
The battle between Princess Wu and the prince was over. The prince fell to the ground and sang a solitary monologue while the princess raised her sword.
"Will he kill him?"
"It won't be so cruel ..."
I could not help talking, Natasha in the box suddenly sighed.
The long sword fell, the prince died, a melancholy and melodic melody played, and the princess sang a sorrow without sorrow.
And seeing that sword, Ali's face that heard this melody is as dead as possible, which seems to herald the end of his inner fantasy, and the distance between her and her is farther than the distance between the king and the princess. The story has not yet started It ’s over, and she does n’t need to wave the sword herself, because she does n’t even have a chance to play ...
The tragedy of love is extremely sad The princess who waved this sword made everyone remember it, and at this time, the tension and repression melodies again, and the follow-up knights of the neighboring countries have arrived It turned out that they had long been prisoners of darkness and servants of a dragon, and they wanted to occupy the princess' country for the treasure needed by the dragon!
Princess Puppet restrained her grief and led the Cavaliers to meet again. Just as they were about to win, the wind of musical instrument imitation sounded, and a huge monster came on the stage.
It has a lizard-like head, a strong body, covered with transparent scales, and the same beautiful transparent wings spread out behind it. Under the light, they shone with a cool and dreamy light.
It exudes unimaginable majesty all over the body, making that group of opera personnel fall to the ground in full leg, singing intermittently.
真 "Really, true dragon?" The nobles of the theater were all staring out.
Banus and Ali and other people opened their mouths and forgot to close up. Is this also an opera actor?
巨 The dragon wears ten jewel rings with ten fingers, a crown on her hair, and a cloak with gold on her body. It looks like it has just robbed the treasure house.
"Give up your treasure!" It sings authentically.
内 Inside the box, Lucian smiled: "I paid a large price for Little Crystal to play, it was the most expensive opera actor in history ..."
