Throne of Magical Arcana

723 The Most Expensive Opera Actor in History

In the Lentat Kingdom Grand Theater, the nobles and magicians who admired the interludes whispered and talked about each other, which was completely different from the previous forms of opera.

Since opera gradually became prevalent, the structure of split music is the mainstream without any doubt. Even if someone has made improvements, it is only a fine-tuning. No one dares to abandon the traditional model of abnormal success of split music, and Holm Kingdom ’s The nobles and civilians are also used to this kind of opera. They like a solo and chorus in it, and like an impact or infectious aria. As for the plot content of the opera itself, they often only know the approximate and can be used to Just understand the emotions behind singing and music.

As for the more detailed plots and more specific classic dialogues, they basically only knew it and passed on the word after listening to the drama of the same name.

In the past when the storyline was relatively simple and not compact, there was not much problem, which did not prevent them from enjoying opera, music, singing and basic stories. However, with the development of the drama, dramatists including Oliver and other majors created There are richer and more tortuous stories. When people listen to opera, they often have some singing independent of the plot, purely to show their sense of skill, and the music and the story begin 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. Therefore, after hearing the first scene of "The Valkyrie" by Lucien Evans today, they were difficult to adapt and forgot to listen. The etiquette of the opera was very heatedly discussed.

"The whole scene is a big breakout?" Stephanie, the Duchess of James, talked to Jane, the Duchess next door.

Jane's black hair has a little natural curls and is gently draped over her shoulders, just like the feeling she gives herself-in the aristocratic circle, she is called a "quiet doll".

"Speaking of a parting song, I think it is more like a symphony. The theme is the content in the prelude, and the boundary between the narration and the aria seems to be blurred. It is an aria that I can confirm. At other times, the characteristics of the two seem to be confused ... "Jane introduced Stephanie in detail.

In the previous opera, she felt for the first time that the plot story and the melody of music were so harmonious. Although there were too many discomforts, the whole person was completely invested in the atmosphere they created together. The new king, hated the sinister prime minister, and the loyal maid of sympathy Full of contagion.

It wasn't until the interlude sounded that Jane slowly recalled the opera just now, and talked about the improvements inside. For example, some of the recitative tunes increased the nature of singing, and the arias sometimes brought the characteristics of recitation ...

Stephanie and Duke James next to her quietly listened to Jane ’s introduction, and then laughed and relievedly said: "A scene is a symphony? Worthy of being Master Evans of Aalto."

There, the light of the symphony obscures everything else, and when they talk about music, they prefer to call Lucien the master.

After a heated discussion, the nobles all had their own views. Most of them thought that although they were a bit uncomfortable, at least so far, the first act of "The Valkyrie" is still above the standard. Maid and enemies, the aria that cherishes their own situation is enough to be called a classic, and it is a good song that has been rare in recent years.

The master is indeed the master!

In the box, in the face of Oliver ’s doubts, Lucien told him his creative concept with a smile, and there was a sense of pride in his heart. Although this improvement was caused by Mr. Wagner ’s reform of the opera on the earth, this The plot, melody, song and structure design of the opera are all created independently.

After hearing Lucien ’s answer, Oliver froze for a moment, then smiled broadly: "I like this idea very much. Music and singing should serve the plot content. The musicians who adapted the opera for my script before did not understand this. It ’s easy to understand that it ’s not always possible to create an opera that pleases everyone, so I ’ve always disliked their adaptation. 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, slightly surprised in his heart, but he was relieved, he was a playwright, emphasizing that the plot is dominant He fits his taste very well, and he sits very well.

Next to Natasha humming the princess monologue just now, Fernando gently tapped the armrest, as if expecting the beginning of the next scene.

…………

The small town of Samara, Barchig Square.

In the face of 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, I waited for myself and others to be completely immersed in it. I was met by stories, characters, music melody I was completely impressed by the singer's singing, but to say it well, I always felt weird. Opera should not be like this.

"This is definitely the trend of opera development." Atom Control "is a music master. Is his vision comparable to ours?" An avid symphony lover said suddenly.

His voice broke the short-term freeze, and the citizens clamored:

"Yeah, yeah, how can our insights be comparable to big musicians?"

"The opera just now is more beautiful than before, well, it looks much better!"

"It turns out that the top singers and opera actors are like this. I have heard nothing in the past!"

"The money they play once is enough for you to make a year!"

...

Banus looked at the magnificent Kingdom Theatre on the "Curtain", and said in a rare and profound way: "Before today, I never thought I could see and hear the performance of the top singers and opera actors. This belongs to the high nobility. Only have the right, but now, everything is so easy to realize, we can even see the opera in the Kingdom Theatre in Samara, the magic is really amazing, and the changes it brings can actually allow us to enjoy ! "

"Well, I'm looking forward to the" magic civilization "promoted by the" Sound of Mystery ", maybe we can see the situation of Luntt in the future without going out, maybe ..." The video and sound on the "curtain" are constantly Changes make Ali's eyes obsessed. This is the power of the gods preached by the previous church!

Thinking of the earth-shaking changes brought about by magic and the changes in the surroundings, Ali faintly suppressed, everything is developing fast, and what about himself?Stay in the town forever and grow old without surprise like father and grandfather?

The prelude to the second act of "Goddess of Valkyrie" begins to sound, and there is a warm feeling in the intense and tense, which makes people look forward to it.

In this scene, Princess Amantha encountered a lot of dangers in the forest and gradually grew into a real knight. Then, in a chase after a power disparity, she fell off the cliff, was seriously injured, and almost died, but was passed by Saved by a powerful knight.

This knight is a young and handsome man. He sympathizes with the princess's experience and stays to teach the princess and work with her to deal with the king's pursuit. Throughout the times, the two hearts slowly approached. The spark of love gradually burst out, dyeing this intense atmosphere with a layer of colors that make people feel warm from the depths of the heart, so that the audience seemed to find the motivation and support and began to look forward to a better future.

In a love song of a male and female chorus, the second act slowly came to an end.

While listening to the opera, Ali looked at the theater hall and the aristocrat who showed a few pictures in the "live broadcast". There was a sweet smile on her face. Was she also listening to the opera? The love story of the princess and the knight feels warm and peaceful. Even in the face of no amount of danger, it also has a solid back to rely on each other. Is it also remembering the feeling of tranquility and peace every time you write a letter ...

He fantasized a lot. After the second act, he kept humming the song just now.

The third act was started in a prelude that was high and uplifting but seemed to contain dangerous storms. The princess and the knight embarked on the journey of reunification. They met a companion and found a knight who was still loyal to the old king. In the process, there was no less danger, which made a blonde knight fall in love with the princess and cut off her left arm for the princess.

"Love makes me unable to control myself ..." The blonde knight confessed with a touching aria.

When the audience was worried about the deterioration of love, the princess also responded with an aria: "... you are perfect like the sun, but not what I like and expect ..."

After the test of love, the princess seems to be more mature. With the lover, he took the knights to attack the new king and the prime minister. This is a melodious story. The increasingly determined princess defeated the enemy in the triumphant music. The villain who hated the audience for three acts was hung on the gallows.

But at this moment, when the hidden storm came, the wind screamed and thunder roared. The curse before the death of the new king revealed the true identity of the princess's lover. He turned out to be the prince of the neighboring country. Occupy this country!

In this process, love is uncontrollable. He fell in love with the princess, but in the end, he chose his own country. In the thunder made by the drum sound, the riding sound and the sound of the trumpet imitated by the trumpet sound, the two Pulled out his own weapon.

"Why is this ..."

"So sweet love before ..."

The audience felt a kind of painful pain when the third scene ended. Ali even tranced, looking at the Grand Theatre with a pale face, and seemed to be able to feel the princess's mood. That is the gap that cannot be crossed. Stumbling.

The prelude at the beginning of the fourth act broke out vividly and powerfully in the depression and depression, which seemed to foreshadow the princess's charge.

This piece of music is the most classic one since "Goddess of Valor" was staged, and it suddenly aroused the emotions and enthusiasm of the audience.

"This piece of music alone can be called a classic ..." Oliver nodded in agreement.

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

"Will he be killed?"

"Not so cruel ..."

In the unbearable argument, Natasha sighed suddenly in the box.

The long sword fell, the prince died, a mournful and melodious melody sounded, and the princess sang a sad but not hurt aria.

Witnessing the sword and hearing this melody, Ali ’s face was ashamed, which seemed to herald the end of his inner fantasy story. The distance between her and her was farther than that of the neighboring king and princess. It's over, and she doesn't need to use her hand to wield a sword, because she doesn't even have the chance to play ...

The tragic love is especially sad, but the princess who wielded this sword made everyone remember it, and at this time, the melodies of tension and repression sounded again, and the follower knights of the neighboring countries have arrived. It turns out that they have already become The dark captive became a servant of a dragon, and they wanted to occupy the princess's country to win treasure for the dragon!

The princess restrained her grief and led the knights again, just as they were about to win, the wind of the musical instrument imitation sounded, and a huge monster descended on the stage.

It has a lizard-like head, a strong body, covered with transparent scales, and the same beautiful transparent wings spread behind. Under the illumination of the lights, they all flashed a cold and dreamy light.

It exudes unimaginable majesty around the body, causing the group of opera actors to fall on their legs and sing intermittently, like a real scene.

"Really, the real dragon?" The nobles of the theater stared out.

Banus and Ali and others opened their mouths and forgot to close. Is this also an opera actor?

This dragon has ten fingers and toes wearing different gemstone rings, a crown on its head, and a cloak made of gold on its body. It has just robbed the treasure house.

"Hand over your treasure!" It sang like a song.

In the box, Lucian smiled: "In order to let Little Crystal play, I spent a lot of money. It is the most expensive opera actor in history ..."
