The Nineteenth Century Didn't Believe in Love[Comprehensive]

"Faust" is not the famous "Faust", but another opera of the same name.The specific background is the interior of the court, which all opera singers hate very much. In order to avenge her husband, the countess pretends to be "sneaky" with a dumb maid in men's clothing, which triggers a series of stories.There is nothing wrong with being a comedy that everyone likes, but it is also a very routine opera.

At least in Carlotta's opinion, the opera has begun to lose popularity and will soon be abandoned by the trend.Even after that, the People's Theater in Paris will not show this play again, which can be regarded as a "farewell performance".

If Le Farre's old thing is still there, he will definitely stir up a sensational reminiscence thing, and then use his current reputation to give this opera the title of "remembering the memory of laughing back then" .As for these two now?

Carlotta curled his lips. Le Farr must have found no one to take over this "haunted theater", so he found two idiots who took the blame to come here.And they are all said to be idiots, so can they be expected to have any IQ?

The social life in Paris always starts at night. Carlotta painted his face with something white that was almost like paint, and endured his dislike and clicked it a little to the side of his own people. Got a mole.

Seriously, she was now suspecting that Christine had thrown the role at her on purpose.Looking at Christine's smiling face, Carlotta couldn't help reaching out and pinching her waist.

"Oh I'm sorry Lotta, I feel so... poof when I see you like this."

It was Mrs. Gilly who helped make up. Seeing the expressions of the two girls, they relaxed their facial expressions slightly, and did not show any coldness: "Get ready to go on stage."

"I see."

Instead of touching the throat water on the table, Carlota cleared his throat and reached out to Christine instead: "Christin, please give me your bottle."

"okay."

Anyway, the two girls didn't care too much about these things. After moistening his throat a little, Carlota handed it back to Christine: "Mute servants should pay attention to facial expressions. You have never been that exaggerated style. This The second "Faust" can be regarded as an exercise."

"I know."

Of course, Christine knew that most of this opera needed to use exaggerated expressions and movements to show a comic style, and she was not reluctant to let it go, but it was a little unnatural: "I understand that Carlo Tower, this is a great opportunity."

"Although no one likes to sing this, the audience likes it. Only operas that the audience likes are good operas. But how to make the audience like it is what we opera singers should do."

Carlotta patted Christine one last time and let her take the stage.In the middle of the stage is a gorgeous big bed, and the dumb maid played by Christine is cleaning it on the stage.Carlota stood behind the scenes, made a vague glance with Raoul who was sitting in Box No. [-], and then walked out.

According to Carlota's request, Raoul made a group of three crew members, and no one could leave his post, otherwise he would be fired.The three must act as a team, and the most important point is that no matter what happens, they must not leave their posts.

Although he didn't understand Carlotta's request, Raoul still complied. He had been taught countless times that following Carlotta would definitely bring him nothing to lose, and he might even make a small profit.But Raoul is still very curious about why Carlotta must have such a move of three people.

"Are you afraid that they will shirk their responsibilities and supervise each other?"

After asking his friend this way, Raoul got a mysterious smile.Of course, what he didn't know was that Carlotta didn't answer him, but took the answer in his heart.

No, I'm afraid someone will die because of it.

No matter how nasty, slovenly and vulgar the Bougai who ran the stage was, the only thing he could call bad was teasing little girls with ghost stories.He has no relatives or children, and is alone, but it is not bad.

No one can take his life away, but the Phantom killed him mercilessly, because he needed a way to be awesome, and because he told the way to get rid of the Pumpja lasso, so he chose over him.

Even if Carlotta is still the same in this era, she still can't do this kind of thing that can decide the life and death of others.At least in her opinion, everyone has the most basic and only rights.

Alive.

The countess who was laughing on the stage and what she was thinking were completely two extremes, but Carlotta was extremely skilled in double-mindedness, quietly hiding her true self behind the character, watching the ups and downs on the stage.

The little dumb servant took off his maid outfit, and Carlotta smiled sincerely when he looked so pretty in men's clothes.Christine also blinked quietly, with a little more smug expression on her face.Just after the eyes of the two people met, a loud and unknown voice broke such a beautiful and joyful situation.

"I said, Box 5 is reserved for me."

The voice was angry, with a hint of resentment.Carlotta didn't show any expression when he heard the voice, as if the whole theater had hallucinations, but he held Christine's hand slightly tighter.

Kristen blurted out "Here he is" and immediately realized that he was on stage and that he was a dumb servant and shouldn't be talking.Carlotta cleared his throat, glanced over the chandelier with a mocking expression, and showed a complacent smile that belonged to the countess.

She had to keep the show going, no matter what.She's an opera singer, nothing else.

But thinking of the next scene where he and Christine are going to lie on the bed together... Carlotta felt that the veins on his forehead couldn't be blocked even by this terrible stage makeup.Christine, on the other hand, jumped on the bed after understanding Carlotta's intentions, and she was so happy that she didn't have any other thoughts at all.

Skillfully and as always, he sang a high note with coloratura, and after being applauded as a matter of course, Carlotta knew that the scene must continue.She didn't have time to care about what the phantom was going to do. Even Raoul was nailed to the fifth box like a nail, staring at the stage.

Because she said before that everyone must stay in their posts and not run around, including Raoul.

Did you know the situation, did you guess the scene?A lot of doubts lingered in Raoul's mind. If Carlotta hadn't suppressed him by force since he was a child, he would definitely rush down and take people away now.

Keep going.The calmness of the theater's principal soprano drove the actors on the stage to try their best to show their skills, and the state was so good that it was almost amazing.Even if Christine lost his mind twice in the middle, he was immediately pinched back by Carlota, and everything was running smoothly until the fourth act——

ballet.

Everything should start from here.Carlotta threw a sugar cube brought by Raoul into his mouth and took a sip of water after making sure that the water in the water glass had not been changed.Christine also seized all the time to rest, and wondered why Carlotta was looking out the door from time to time.

"Lotta, what's wrong?"

"..."

Carlotta pursed her lips. She was so nervous now that she was almost suffocating.She didn't want anyone to die in this theater, and she didn't want to witness any death.She used to have a ridiculous idea about "Since the Phantom can write such an opera, it shouldn't have such a ruthless method", now it seems...

Morality is nothing to him.

Christine jumped up when she heard the screams outside the court.As theater personnel, when there is commotion outside the venue, their first priority is to appease the audience, and guide the audience to leave the venue early under certain circumstances.When she saw that Carlotta hadn't stepped out, Christine gave her a hand, but was startled by the weight on her hand.

"Lotta..."

"sorry."

As a result of the weakness in his feet, Carlotta was almost staggered by his sister.After apologizing, Carlota quickly collected her mood, and heard her scream when she ran out with Christine.Following the scream, he raised his head in a daze, and what Carlota saw was not a corpse.

In other words, it's not a human corpse.

It was a sheep, which was supposed to be used as a stage prop.And now the whole body of this sheep has been skinned, blood dripping on the stage bit by bit, the red body and the stiff body look extremely strange because of the light.Carlota held back the scream that was about to leave his throat, and at the same time ruthlessly grabbed his right hand with his left hand.

Carlotta, you are fine, you saved a man's life, even if he didn't know it, you still saved him.

However, when Carlotta fully recovered, he saw that Christine beside him disappeared.Taking advantage of the fact that the curtain was not closed, Carlotta almost cut off his fingers when he glanced towards the fifth box.

You two, don't you think it's messy enough?

Powerlessly retracting his gaze, Carlotta suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure as he swept across the auditorium.Before they could distinguish anything, the curtain was drawn, and the two managers, who were rarely full of quick-wittedness, came to the stage to apologize, claiming that it was an accident and that it would definitely not affect the performance.

Those who can come to the People's Theater in Paris also have a little impression of this theater. Thanks to Mr. Le Farr's tireless efforts in the past ten years, at least everyone has the impression that this is a theater with ghosts.

Although it was not obvious on the surface, Carlotta sang the aria of the countess and the count on the stage with some absent-mindedness, and swept his eyes over the corner where he thought he seemed to be acquainted just now.After seeing the figure over there clearly, Carlotta felt that if it wasn't for the count's role now, he would definitely sing out of tune.

Mr Sherlock Holmes, why are you here!

The author has something to say: Originally it was Bugai who died in the original book, but here Carlotta rescued Bugai, and the phantom was replaced by a sheep
