The ghosts of the people who happened in the opera house are not over, the stories are good people and beautiful, and there is a fireworks show in the sky. As me who wants to enter the door of musical theater, it is perfect. -------------------------------------------------- ----- Compared to "Cats", "The Phantom of the Opera" is more to my taste. When Carlotta sang "Think of me", I knew it was going to be a hit. Just take the first sentence, Weber almost completely covered the melody and rhythm of his usual speech on the melody, calling softly, a syncopation and an octave jump, all the stories are explained (Weber is really a master, this Isn't it the ideal of the young Florentines at the beginning of the opera 400 years ago?). When Daaé sang, the style changed, but the music still melted into my ears for three days. After the female lead's aria, in Erik's underground palace, the male lead sang his "Think of me". It is also a simple lullaby melody. It only uses the five tones of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, and Suo. The third sentence adds La, and there is a faint off-key. I don't think there is a girl who can't be born. Be fascinated by this gentle mysterious man. Me too, by music. Speaking of the duet of "No more talk of darkness" by Raoul and Daaé on the roof of the theater, I almost laughed at the first two sentences, like "The sun is the reddest, Maozhuxi is the most pro" (please make your own shrimp), The outline of the melody is the same (who copied who?). But, but, after listening to it, the color gradually increased, a strange flat seventh chord progressed to the dominant, and the female voice jumped two consecutive big jumps (ninth plus seventh, Weber is so courageous), it sounds very old-school Hollywood The feeling of a romantic film (I think the pairing of these two is more suitable than the Phantom Daaé, maybe Raoul is too handsome). At this point, the first half is over. There are still a few nice melodies in the second half, and it's so tiring that I have to talk like this one after another. Simply, you can experience the beauty for yourself. In addition to so many beautiful arias, Weber also used various musical means to render various atmospheres, such as the large prelude in the opening subtitles, does it have a tragic color of changing things over the vicissitudes of life? I also heard the pipe organ (which does have one in this concert hall) and the broken down diminished seventh chord played on the pipe organ, which is Bach! Another example is a few mass plays, excerpts from "Hannibal" and "The Dumb Servant", whether it is the exotic dance music imitating "Aida", or the typical coloratura and recitative of the Baroque period, Master Weber has always Written in a well-mannered manner, written in the spirit of the times, written in style, and out of the level. In addition, there are several motives that have to be mentioned again and again throughout the play, such as the descending of the major second interval mode (diatonic effect), such as the unclear tonality of the Phantom's letter reading and the aria of "Dumb Servant". In fact, the style of Weber's music is very easy to grasp, simple and direct, and "Cat" is also this routine. Say something else. As a novice-level audience, besides music, what else can I say? Sierra Boggess, who plays Daaé, is very beautiful, similar to the Daaé I imagined. Compared with the Daaé in the 04 movie version, she can hold the stage better, and her performance is more sophisticated and more sculpting (the man in "The Dumb Servant" dressed as a woman By). Raoul is too handsome not to mention. No, I have to mention that the film version of Raoul will lose in terms of image first (that is, the male protagonist of this year's "Frozen Season 2", Mu!). Phantom is also good, very manly, Xie was very enjoyable to hold Princess Daaé in the last scene. The other actors and dancers are also very good, everyone worked hard! There is also the stage beauty. The band was placed on the top and rear of the main stage, and the performance space was suddenly expanded (if it happened in an opera, the conductor would probably vomit blood). It is convenient and cool to use the big screen to complete actions such as opening and closing the curtain and scene transition, and also solves the problem of Albert Hall as a concert hall without a curtain, because it really does not. Although I don't know much about drama, I still feel that the structure of this drama is flawed. I have already said in the short comment that the setting of the fourth "rehearsal" in the second half is problematic, uncomfortable, and does not match well with the before and after scenes, so it can be deleted (in fact, the movie version has already done this). I heard that the Phantom of the Opera is currently being staged at the Tianqiao Art Center, and the leading actors are all from Broadway in the United States. As a stage worker, I really want to see how the so-called China's only professional stage for musicals can present such an audio-visual feast.
