Grasp the farming script in the famous book

At the Royal Opera House, people gradually began to realize that the opening of the second act was coming later than usual.

In view of the fact that there are always people coming and going in the box of the Austrian prince, many people imagined this delay as a "greeting" and "care" for the distinguished guests, and they all understood this.

Not long after, the musicians in the orchestra pit sat down one after another.

The opera-loving audience has already started to applaud first.The prince's box also gradually became quiet.

Out of customary rules and respect for the artists, the whole theater began to hold their breath, ready to enjoy the wonderful opera performance.

Unexpectedly, a thin girl stood up beside the piano, bowed far away to the box of the Austrian prince in the distance, and then sat down beside the piano.

The band conductor also stretched out his baton and tapped twice on the conductor's stand.

All the audience in the theater heard the conductor speak, and babbled to the Prince's box.

Only those who can understand German know that the orchestra will perform an additional work or two for the Prince of Austria before the second act begins.

——This is also normal.

But, who is this girl sitting in front of the piano, who is actually qualified to sit in the Royal Opera House for an intermission?

But the teenage girl is clearly not a newcomer to the band.

She raised her hands, lightly landed on the black and white keys of the grand piano, and nodded slightly.The baton in the conductor's hand over there has been raised.

The clear sound of the piano immediately flowed from the girl's fingers.

What she played was Beethoven's 7 Variations based on the theme of "The Magic Flute". 1

This is a variation written by Le Saint Beethoven based on the theme of one of the arias after enjoying this charming fairy tale opera.

As a band, it is quite an elegant choice to play such a variation alone in the interval-provided that the pianist is skillful and works well with the whole orchestra.

And the skill of this young girl pianist is not only mature.

She is simply able to play with ease between the keys, retracting and releasing freely.

The sound of the piano catches the ears, even the audience who are not interested in listening can't help but give up those complicated thoughts for the time being, and listen carefully——

Cello was added.

The thick and rich timbre of the cello seems to be a person speaking in a low voice.

The piano is still moving forward flexibly, advancing and retreating with a certain degree, which does not conceal the cello's calm demeanor, but is also unique and lively.

Anyone who has a history of love can tell that this variation is clearly about love.

Of course, it is also echoing a classic aria in the first act-"Those Who Feel the Love".The performance was very well suited.

When the girl played the last note, the bow in the hands of the cellist also left the strings at the same time.

The music continued to linger in the entire opera house, lingering in everyone's heart.

"Crack-pump-"

It turned out that the box where the Austrian prince was located took the lead in applauding.

Immediately there was applause and applause.

The opera house was full of people, and people were asking who the girl sitting in front of the magnificent piano was.

The girl and the band conductor looked at each other at the same time, both of them hesitated, wondering if they should continue to "enact" a piece of music.

Continuing the "additional performance" may consume the audience's patience, but at this moment they really don't know whether Miss Donna has been found backstage or whether the performance can continue.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the lights on the stage gradually turned on——

The whole band is very excited: it means that the second act will start soon.Miss Donna must have returned to the opera house, and the performance could go on smoothly.

Sure enough, the curtain opened, and a coconut grove appeared on the stage set, behind which the pyramid could be seen in the distance.

The second act began.

When the curtain slowly opened, Roland only felt his heart pounding.

According to Mrs. Dupre's evaluation, although she is a very talented soprano, she is a layman in opera performance. She has never participated in rehearsals, and she has no idea how to move——

But she has the support of her companions by her side.

The actress who played the handmaiden of the Queen of the Night is the person who participated in "The Magic Flute" the most times in the troupe. The "maid" took on the role of guiding Roland where to go, and would even speak all the lines in recitative for Roland.

Therefore, Roland is not alone, her "maid" is supporting her and helping her to the designated position.

Someone will read the confession for her, she just needs to "act in her true colors", and always put on a haughty queen attitude.

As for whether anyone could recognize that she was not the "Queen of the Night" who appeared in the first act—Roland didn't know.

But according to what Mrs. Dupre said, Roland's figure is very similar to Miss Donna's. Both of them are tall, with black hair, and even have a mole on the corner of their mouth.

In addition, Roland's makeup is also different from Miss Donna in the first act.

In the language outside the plane, it means "blackened".

Mrs. Dupree painted her a thick "smoky makeup", which she had seen in the mirror earlier and knew that she looked sunken, haggard and angry at the moment-the character's name "nightqueen" Even more suitable - deep in the night, completely "blackened".

The curtain was raised, and the "maid" supported Roland, and slowly walked to the center of the stage.

The light is reflected by the huge silver reflector and shines on her, it seems that every minute of her emotions will be revealed to the audience inadvertently.

Although someone was helping her to speak the truth, the eyes of all the audience were still focused on her——

This is the Royal Opera House, this is opera.

She is the soul and spiritual protagonist of this opera.

At this moment, Roland was thinking in his heart: Why did she "blacken"?Why is the Queen of the Night "blackened"?

Oh yes! ——The maid's confession explained all this.

The innocent and kind-hearted Pamina, the young daughter of the Queen of the Night, was snatched away by the Queen's husband and handed over to the Temple of Light.

The queen's husband not only snatched her daughter, but also took away the queen's magic weapon, the seven-fold shield of the sun, and handed it to the priest of the Temple of Light, making the queen lose her mana and unable to protect her own daughter.

Roland thought: Why does she not have the right to raise her own daughter even if she is like the Queen of the Night?

But does that even need to be asked?

Just like her, she has no right to step out of her box unaccompanied;

Just like Donna, there is no right to cleanly cut off a relationship that is unnecessary to continue;

This is a man's world——

They are born to be judged and restrained by human beings.

As Heidi said, once you have tasted the taste of equality, it is more difficult to accept the inequality and lack of freedom in this plane.

At this time, Pamina, played by Miss Popola, came to Roland. The young princess was pleading with the Queen of the Night—she didn't want to kill the priest of the Temple of Light, she didn't want to get blood on her hands, and she didn't want the father and mother, the light The battle with the night continues.

At this time, the "maid" next to Roland pinched Roland's arm to give a signal.

Polpora knelt in front of Roland and stretched out her arms in begging—she didn't want to carry out her mother's order.

The orchestra has struck its first note—

In the entire opera house, all the audience who watched the performance of "The Magic Flute" couldn't help but be excited.

They knew that the prima donna of the troupe was about to sing a world-famous aria—

"Rage Burns in My Heart".

This is Mozart's gift to all coloratura sopranos in the world, but also a challenge.

He used the most colorful movement to describe human nature, and also used fast singing and continuous high-pitched f to describe the violent mood of the Queen of the Night and the instant gushing out of anger.

Roland raised her head slightly, and she recalled Mrs. Dupre's words before she took the stage:

"Eugénie, success or failure depends on one action."

"Only you can save your own troupe."

"Eugénie, if you just think about it, why are we angry?"

—Why are we angry?

Roland closed his eyes, opened them instantly, and parted his cherry lips.

She believed in the ability of this character, and in the extraordinary Miss Tanglar.

She believed more in the anger they all felt at the moment.

She spoke—

The firm force immediately echoed in the entire opera house with a powerful treble.

"Death and despair are at hand—

Gone forever, perish, perish;

Let the fetters of this life be shattered! "

A series of complicated high-pitched f's frequently hit the ear drums of the audience.

The rapid repetitions and staccatos of the strings seem to be completely unable to catch up with the human voice.

"O, let all be destroyed, and the light forever subject to the night;"

"Ah, let the god in charge of revenge, write down my eternal oath..."

The opera "Magic Flute", if the Queen of the Night can create a success, the whole opera will be successful.

The "blackening" of this character from good to evil is reasonable and deserves sympathy.

When Roland finished singing this passage, she opened her eyes——

Polpora, who played Princess Pamina, was exactly the same as before, kneeling in front of Roland.

But Porpora's face was full of shock, as if she had never heard such a singing.

This expression only paused for a second, and tears of pride flashed in Miss Popola's eyes——

"Eugénie, I know you—"

Her eyes seemed to say so.

Applause and colorful sounds sounded from the theater like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

No one can resist such a shocking singing voice, and no one has heard such a coherent singing.

Even everyone is infected by the emotion in the singing.

People stood up from their seats one by one and applauded desperately, as if the same blood was flowing in their bodies.

Roland suddenly made a gesture——

She still wants to sing!

The band conductor was in a daze.

According to the script, her singing ended here.

Next, if Roland continues, what should the band use to accompany it, and what should we do if the singing goes out of tune?

Louise sat by the piano, calmly shook her hand at the conductor, and made a mouth shape:

"Absolute pitch—"

What?Absolute pitch?

The conductor of the band is dumbfounded: what is it like to have a club that is much stronger than yourself?

He immediately stretched out his baton and squeezed his left hand.

The musicians held down the strings one after another, and all the music stopped.

In the opera house, the still fanatical audience seemed to suddenly realize something, and quickly shut their mouths, even though their hearts were still beating wildly in their chests, they also wanted to silence their voices so that they could hear the singing on the stage clearly.

The singing sounded, it turned out to be a cappella.

But no musician dares to criticize the pitch of this song.

It's like a throwing knife, nailed directly to the scale it should be on.

"My fate is full of pain—"

"A mother who has lost her daughter is the most unfortunate in the world."

"As long as the beloved daughter does not return, happiness will never return—O fate... What a despicable devil this is!"

Roland sang the Queen of the Night's aria "My fate is full of pain" a cappella on the stage.

No one thought that after such a passionate anger, Roland would be able to accept it.

This a cappella contains infinite tenderness.

Under the Queen of the Night's anger and hatred, it turned out that there were such subtle emotions and deep sorrow.

This character is like this, standing vividly in front of all the audience, and everyone understands her voice.

After hearing this short a cappella, some audience members actually shed tears.

Needless to say, Mrs. Tanglar must be one of them.

At the end of the song, the opera house did not burst into applause as before.

When Roland turned around, everything was silent behind him.

After a long time, the second wave of applause was loud enough to blow the roof off.The whole opera house burst into applause.

The Austrian prince stood up to pay his respects to the singer - German is his mother tongue, and the prince felt so deeply about these two arias that he stood up so excitedly.

The overly enthusiastic color voice directly interrupted the performance.

Roland had no choice but to come to the stage to greet the audience with the support of the "maid".

Here, she clearly saw the band in the orchestra stand up and applaud her in celebration.

The eyes of the conductor and musicians were filled with reverence.

Louise slapped her hands red with excitement.

When she raised her head again, she found that the Count of Monte Cristo had come to the stage and threw a bouquet of flowers at her.

As Heidi said last time, a diamond the size of a pigeon egg is tied on the ribbon of this flower.

Roland had nothing to say, he could only take the flowers, show the diamonds on the ribbon to the audience, and then blew a kiss to Heidi in the box.

In the distance, the Greek beauty blushed with excitement and blew kisses back again and again.

When Roland came to the audience, Mrs. Dupre held her in her arms.

"Child, you are a treasure bestowed by God on this world—"

In fact, Roland was dripping with sweat at the moment.Singing once made her sweat like rain.

Madame Dupre hugged her tightly and let her rest on her shoulder.

"But merciful God? Why did you let her be born in a noble family when you let her come to this world?"

Madame Dupre sighed softly.

Roland: No way, after all, there is no freedom to choose a career in the plane.

This may be one of the reasons for her "angry".

Thinking of this, Roland suddenly hugged Mrs. Dupre's arm.

"How is Donna? Did Donna find it?"

A voice lazily spoke from the side——

"Who do you think this is?"

The speaker was none other than Andrea.

He was leaning against a backstage wall very aggressively at the moment, crossing his feet, showing off his polished patent leather shoes.

Albert was also beside Andrea, but he looked very reserved, raising his head to look at Roland for a while, and lowering his head for a while.

A figure exactly like Roland walked forward slowly, facing Roland, he could hardly recognize him.

"Eugénie, you..."

Apparently Donna also heard the singing just now. The soprano probably overturned the five-flavor bottle in her heart at the moment.

"Miss Donna—"

"Great!"

Roland sighed sincerely: "In this way, I still have time to go back in time."

Almost everyone in the backstage was overwhelmed: what kind of girl is this!

Just sang a perfect aria, and now she is in a hurry to hide and be her behind-the-scenes boss?

Why is there such a singer in the world who doesn't like being famous?

"How does this work?"

Mrs. Dupre grabbed Roland.

"There's an 'encore' in a while."

Roland smiled at Donna and said, "The Lord is back."

Donna's chest choked when she heard this.

She heard Roland's singing in the background just now, and there were only four words in her mind: "I'm ashamed of myself!"

Even Donna herself has participated in many rehearsals, but she still can't sing the mood of the Queen of the Night like Roland——

Who would have thought that after the rampage to the extreme "My Heart Burns with Anger", there will be a sad and tender confession?

But Miss Donna thought to herself that even if she changed herself, her breath would not be able to switch between different emotions and styles so freely.

At this moment, she looked at Roland, and only had four words in her heart: "Young people are awesome".

She was even worried that when she came to "Encore" on stage, Zhuyu would be in front of her, and she wouldn't even dare to speak.

Roland stepped forward quickly, and she casually picked up the bouquet at her feet, and quickly picked off the "pigeon egg" on it.

It was only when Roland took off the diamond ring that he realized that the Count of Monte Cristo gave her this precious gift precisely to help her chief soprano "verify her authenticity".

Roland put the "pigeon egg" on Donna's hand, and asked her to wave to the Greek princess sitting in the box and show her the ring when she went on stage to "encore".

Donna stared blankly at Roland: "You, you..."

She didn't know how to speak at all.

"me……"

Donna also lacks courage and self-confidence at the same time, and even for the first time in her life, she doesn't have the guts to step onto the stage she loves.

"You don't want me to regret saving you, do you?"

Roland smiled back and pointed at Andrea and Albert, "It also made me owe such a big two favors."

"My friend, you have to believe that God has given us the power to sing, and all we have to do is just try our best to sing!"

After hearing this, Donna couldn't bear it any longer. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her eye makeup was stained from crying.

At this moment, her eye makeup is exactly the same as Roland's in front of her, and she doesn't need to touch up her makeup at all.
