Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Of course that person is not Qingyue now, but just the protagonist of this opera, Lucia."

Charmain said this with a smile, and then continued to ask: "Do you know Donizetti's most famous three-act opera, "Lucia di Lammermoor", three centuries ago?"

Seeing the two people shaking their heads in doubt, Charman said with a smile on his face: "That's really the case": "It's a famous opera that lasts for a long time. Even now, there will be performances of this opera. However, because Because it has too high requirements for actors, it is very difficult for any troupe to gather opera actors who can perform the whole opera. You can understand this point by listening to the song being played now.

However, I don't think you are interested in the origin of this opera.So, let me briefly tell you about the general plot of this opera.

The story happened about three centuries ago.The lord of Lammermore, Lord Henry Aston, had been enemies for generations with Edgardo, the lord of Ravenswood. He seized Edgardo's property and territory, leaving him only a deserted fortress.

Ironically, Edgardo ends up falling in love with Lord Aston's sister, Lucia.This love was naturally obstructed by Lucia's brother.For political purposes, Lord Aston forced his sister to marry a court official who had admired her.He even accused Lucia of disregarding the survival of the family for the sake of personal feelings, and carefully forged the letter that Edgardo told Lucia that he had a new love.

The danger of the family's life and death, and the betrayal of her lover made this girl who was loved by thousands of people feel dazed.Finally agreed to the marriage.Her lover Edgardo heard about it from far away.He didn't believe that his lover would betray him, so he risked his life to get out of the encirclement, trying to snatch the bride who should belong to him at the wedding.

But he saw the name that Lucia signed on the marriage contract because of her brother's coercion and her lover's betrayal.So he scolded Lucia for her infidelity, threw back the token ring between them to Lucia, and even cursed her change of heart with the sword in his hand. "

While watching the ecstasy that perfectly interpreted Lucia's mood at that time with every dance movement of his own, even footwork, rotation, and jumping on the ice rink, Charman said that ancient song in a tone that didn't have much ups and downs. story.However, it was the tone of voice that made one feel all the more distressed for the poor girl.

"and then?"

Seeing that Charman stopped, Chu Xuan asked.Unexpectedly, Charman turned around at this moment, looked at Chu Xuan and Alek, and raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Then...? Then Lucia stabbed her groom to death with a sword on the wedding night. After experiencing too much stimulation, she just broke down and went crazy. The song you are listening to now is Lucia After killing his bridegroom, he sang insanely, the most famous aria in the whole opera, "The Incense Is Lighted""

The beautiful and uneasy and sad singing never stopped, and Eva couldn't restrain the tremor because of the opera plot recounted by Charman, and even tighter to ensure that Charman's arm felt her own The disturbed Charmaine patted the back of her hand gently.

"But does this have anything to do with what I asked you?"

After listening to Charman's narration, Alek asked with a frown, but got a chuckle from Charman.

"Look carefully, among the audience who came here today, there must be some people who shed tears for Qing Yue's performance. Whether they know this opera or not, they will all be infected by him. They will be integrated into the show by him Infected by the sadness, despair, and madness in the heart, and even shed tears because of it.

I can feel it.As the lyrics change, I can feel his emotional changes every moment.I was even able to see what the poor girl was remembering before she died, and the hallucinations she had seen.Wait until the moment his performance is over, and you will understand that the artistic expression we are after is not just to make the show look more beautiful. "

Charman's words made Alek, who didn't take his eyes off Qingyue's body, continue to look at the erratic figure on the ice, only to see that Qingyue didn't seem to have any consciousness after gliding backwards for a certain distance Provocative take-off.His hair fluttered forward as he slid backwards, and covered his forehead, but it couldn't completely cover the bright paint at the corners of his eyes that revealed a sense of coquettishness.

When he fell off the ice lightly, the gaze raised from the end of his eyes happened to see the direction where Chu Xuan and the others were. The pupils of Ke's eyes shrank slightly, and his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.But I heard Charman say quietly: "However, it's just a commercial performance. I really didn't expect Freire to put such a lot of effort into it."

"What does this have to do with Frere?"

Suddenly appearing at this time was Chu Xuan who had been watching Qing Yue's performance with bated breath.His friend's performance skating this time can be said to surprise him.Because, this is too different from his previous acting style.And he couldn't believe that the boy with clear eyes could show such a cold and gloomy feeling.

Charman was puzzled that Alek didn't give any response at this time, but after thinking about it, he became clear again.So he continued: "Although there is no news, Freire did go to Xishu more than a month ago. Moreover, this new version of "The Incense Is Lighted" comes from Frere's mother, Pulan. The famous singer Mia. This song is exactly the track included in her new album that will be released in half a month. Now I can only find its demo version everywhere. I can get this song so long in advance Who else but Freire can come up with a choreography that suits Qingyue so well?"

While saying this, on the ice rink filled with fog, Qingyue's performance was gradually reaching a climax with the singer's singing.The emotions he showed became more and more disordered.

When he landed on the ice after taking off, there were sporadic applause.It's not that the audience's desire to applaud is not because the performance is not good enough.On the contrary, the people watching the performance wanted to applaud the teenager's wonderful jump and three-point performance, but they stopped in time for fear of disturbing the outstanding figure skater's performance.So I held my breath watching his performance every second.However, at this moment, the singer's vocals changed suddenly.Endless grief and despair finally turned into madness in the long struggle...

Edgardo! iotisonresa, Edgardo, mio!

Edgardo, I belong to you again, my Edgardo!

fuggitaiosondetuoinemici!

I escape from the clutches of your enemies!

Yes, he stabbed his groom to death amidst the blessings of everyone...

The ear-shocking percussion sounds right now!It shows that the spirit of the teenager has collapsed.Collapsed by brother's deception.Collapsed by the decision I made in a trance!Collapsed by my own disbelief in my lover!Collapsed by... the curse cast on him by his lover in anger and hatred...

His world collapsed at this moment!The elder brother disregarded his happiness for his own benefit, and the elder brother set up a conspiracy to make him believe his lover's betrayal for his own benefit!And he himself... foolishly believed all of this, and finally ruined their love and the happiness that should belong to him...

The good memories of the past and the lover's scolding and cursing towards her today are like ice and fire, constantly hitting his heart, his beautiful head... making him cry like a lark in his madness.

At some point, he untied the large cloak and threw it into the distance.The young man covered his head in pain and struggled, then kicked off the climax of the whole performance with a heart-touching jump and spin.Although it is far from being able to compare with Freire's dazzling and suffocating multi-posture rotation that only leaves phantoms, there is already a faint shadow of Frere in his rotation at this moment.

Ungelomiser peggianelsen...!

I am shaking with excitement!

Tremaognifibra! ...Vacilla it pie!

Trembling with excitement!I'm unsteady on my feet!

Bowing and spinning, squatting and spinning, as if you have to exhaust your energy in the breathless spinning before giving up...

At the moment when the rotation stopped, the boy's footsteps swayed with the rhythm of the accent, but it didn't make people feel...that was the dizziness after high-speed rotation.It's... trembling with excitement under the madness.

Unarmonia celeste, di, nonascolti?

Did you hear that, the sound of the day?

Ah, l'innosuonadinozze!

Ah, that was our wedding anthem!

After a dance full of power, the boy suddenly slowed down, and the expression on his face became bright and joyful, just like the pure beauty at the beginning.And the clear eyes brightened up again.His series of dance moves perfectly combined with footwork also became brisk.

But such a beautiful, brisk, eye-catching and beautiful dance... makes people unable to cheer up.Even... Some female viewers who have been staring at Qingyue from the beginning to the end, when they saw this, the corners of their eyes were soaked with salty tears, and their throats seemed to be choked by something and they could not speak average.Some people even took out the tissues silently, while others covered their mouths with their palms, and there was a choking sound in their throats.Couldn't bear to continue watching, but couldn't bear to look away.

Such a series of dance moves with a sudden change in style gave people an illusion: he was burning with an astonishing beauty at the cost of his own soul.

Ah, l'innosuonadinozze!

Ah, that's our wedding hymn

Ilritopernois'appresta! Oh, mefelice!

This was made for our wedding and oh how lucky I am!
