[The Phantom of the Opera] Boundary Bridge

There was a gasping sound in the theater from the sudden darkness.

People were restless for a moment, but gradually calmed down again, as if they understood what they were waiting for.While they waited, the stage remained silent.Suddenly, a bright, pale light hits the center of the stage—the gaunt Little Mermaid stands there.

She seemed to have stumbled here after a long journey, exhausted and devastated, with sadness and pain all over her body.She held a bottle of bright blue liquid in her hand, and pressed it tightly against her heart.Her face was paler than the light.

She opened her mouth, but let out a hoarse sob, which surprised people.

what happened?What happened?What happened to Ariel the Little Mermaid?

And when the actress spoke, the audience, who were already familiar with the plot, understood everything that happened on the field after the sudden jump in the scene... Yes, they finally understood how cruel things happened.

"Before we realized it, we had already lost the voice of that day!" Some viewers later said to their friends with great sorrow, "How could they leave this place blank? I haven't heard enough of Ariel's singing, I haven't heard the witch put forward that terrible condition, make a decision and say goodbye with our heroine... How can they make her full of courage one second and make her hurt the next? How can they bear it!"

Yes, how could they bear it.

The opera is not yet halfway through, and it is impossible for the heroine to remain silent after the witch plot.But in the original book, "Ariel asked the witch for the leg-changing potion by singing" is also clearly written.Eric had repeatedly discussed with Enid about how to perform without making the audience out of the play, causing the absurd feeling of "the heroine cried and sang that she was dumb".

At that time, everything had not been revealed yet, and the relationship between them was still peaceful and gentle.Enid will put forward her own opinions on singing, while Eric will revise the tune for her... The music of each stage is similar but different, each with its own emphasis.They had discussed how to express "this is the inner voice of a mute woman" naturally, but in the rehearsals before the official performance, Eric did not dare to attend once.

Perhaps even though it was stated that the relationship with Enid had been repaired, he still felt the deep and bright feelings under the other's calm appearance, the strong omen that could tear his life apart in an instant.He resisted, couldn't take it.But today he has to come.

Come see his successful debut, come and wave her goodbye.

This was the first time Eric saw Enid on stage in her Little Mermaid costume, singing the lyrics as Ariel, who had just lost her voice.

Enid uses a completely different singing method here than before.Previously, Ariel's singing was bright and tender, with a little innocent joy.At this moment, there was already a clear hoarseness in her voice.Not many, but like a gangrene attached to the bone, it looms from time to time.This hoarseness reminds the audience of her inner pain and broken throat.

In the original book, the witch cuts off the little mermaid's tongue, but in the play she takes out her singing instead.

There's still that one-of-a-kind captivating passion in Ariel's voice!But she was so sad and full of longing.The liveliness and innocence of her voice was gone, turned into a scarred agony.This scene can't help but make people feel frightened, as if what they are facing is not Ariel who is about to lose her legs and rushes to dream of love, but the poor girl who lost her love and everything in the end!

Although she was very tired at this time, she hadn't completely arrived on the beach, she just stretched out her arms to hug a rock in front of her, and leaned her body against it.She was very close to the beach, but refused to go up.Ariel seemed to be seeking the last love and shelter from the mother of the sea, but at this moment, the sea suddenly became choppy and the wind blew up!

The surface of the sea rolled up turbulent waves, smashed on the reef, and turned into thin, white foam.

Between the heaven and the earth is a terrifying natural force, as if angrily scolding the little mermaid for her ignorant behavior.How dare she abandon her fish tail and try to be a human being!Those turbulent waves, those strong winds, and those lightning bolts will swallow her up!A bolt of lightning exploded above the little mermaid's head!Reflecting her paler complexion than lightning!

In the midst of this infinite pain, she suddenly sang with a hoarse voice, extremely sad and determined——

"God, I beg you to forgive me!

Forgive everything I have done and what I will do!

I know that fishtail is no sin,

But now I want to cut it off for love.

I was alone and about to leave my hometown.

Hai is no longer my gentle mother.

I have no eternal soul, and now I have lost my beautiful singing voice.

I'm desperate, I'm throwing everything away, just because I long for the light of the distant earth!

bright!Light and love!My Lucio, whose name is Light!

How could this light be extinguished in my soul,

From the moment it was lit, I was ready for everything!

I do not bear all pain now to raise my skirts proudly,

Exposing the slender and soft legs and feet of a human woman.

But for the soul of undying love, for the undying light and my Lucio.

God, I am guilty.

Please condemn me to your heart's content! ..."

This song is the fire under the sea, the lightning in the sky, and the fragrant flowers on the mountain top.

Enid opened her arms, embracing infinite expectations with infinite pain, waiting for the deeper harm of fate, but always pursuing the indelible light in her heart——love—light!

The blank space in this part of the script can be described as very bold. Ariel has lost her singing voice here. This part of the libretto is a painful and chaotic prayer in her heart and a deep and bright love.She is chaotic and suffering from the injury of subverting her beliefs, and she yearns for love!And believe that you will be happy!Enid expresses this feeling vividly.

But the script did not tell everyone that Ariel had lost her singing voice.

It was said slowly in a calm and sad voice after everyone gradually realized that it was unavoidable to be shocked.
