On the way back to the hotel, comments about the performance of the four teams in the first half today could be heard everywhere.
Some people were optimistic about the performance of The Marriage of Figaro, some liked the soprano of Valkyrie, and some praised the stage background of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Of course, there were also those who liked the duet of La Traviata.
Qin Jian also has his own perspective, but compared to the views and opinions expressed by Li Shuang and Ning Qianxia, he feels that he is not even a layman when it comes to opera.
This self-description is his personal experience after tonight's observation.
Although he had spent a lot of time and energy searching for all information related to the Magic Flute, in fact the Magic Flute was only the tip of the opera iceberg.
A true professional will think about what his peers think instead of being led by his peers.
Obviously, Qin Jian was led by the nose by two people all night.
But it can be regarded as a kind of learning. Li Shuang's erudition on opera and Ning Qianxia's analysis of vocal music once again opened his eyes.
"It seems like I'll have to take professional courses next semester."
Qin Jian is not just talking.
Some things, if you don’t learn them, you just don’t understand them.
Neither understand nor understand.
Back at the hotel, he made some simple plans and set up a small flag.
"In the middle of next year, after the symposium on Rachmaninoff's works ends next month, there seems to be nothing else going on between Chausain and Shaw."
"ok."
After sorting out his thoughts, Qin Jian told everyone in the group to have a good rest and lay down on the bed.
Tomorrow night, it's time to take out the mules and horses for a walk.
"sleep."
Turn off the lights.
A night of silence.

The 7th National College Music College Opera Competition is in full swing.
Since early this morning, media headlines related to various copywriting reports about last night's schedule have appeared on various channels.
People who understand read the content, and people who don’t understand watch the fun.
Even if you just watch it for fun, it's not bad.
To be honest, this kind of skill competition among music colleges across the country is rare only a few times a year.
‘Eight Music Conservatories Huashan Sword Discussion’
With such a title, it sounds quite exciting to everyone.
Isn’t this a topic that has appeared on Weibo?
The topic is not very popular and there are not many comments, but there are also many curious people.
However, many curious people became even more curious after clicking on it.
"How come these eight music conservatories have produced nine teams?"
"etc."
"This person looks familiar, isn't he someone..."
"Who is coming..."
In short, there are all kinds of things, and there are also small advertisements.
...
...
Just like the game scene on the first day, the audience was packed with people before the game even started on the evening of the second day.
It's just that part of yesterday's audience became tonight's contestants, and all yesterday's contestants became today's audience.
seven o'clock sharp
Wuyin Yuan, whose appearance number is five, has already started their official performance on the stage where the curtain has been raised.
"Turandot"
It is still a Puccini work. Apart from the two classics "La Bohème" and "Madama Butterfly", it is the Puccini work that can best guarantee attendance.
In the third act, the male protagonist sang a soul-stirring aria "Nessun Dorma", which exploded today's arena like a blockbuster at the beginning of the game.
As soon as the game started, it reached a climax.
The exciting oriental exotic "Chinese flavor" is even better than the "Japanese flavor" of "Madame Butterfly", which makes most Chinese audiences.
It sounds very friendly and has a modern setting.
It can be said that Wuyin Yuan made the first appearance today and captured the audience's attention.
Backstage.
Qin Jian went from lounge to lounge looking for Ning Qianxia. When he found her figure, she was quietly watching the performance on the screen and stage.
Seeing that the other party was looking at her carefully, he walked over gently. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the other party, he saw that the other party looked like he was crying, and his eyes were fixed on the figure on the screen.
At that moment, he frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this the rehearsal we watched yesterday morning? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Ning Qianxia shook her head, "The role of the male protagonist has been changed."
"real or fake?"
Looking at the stage again, Qin Jian couldn't find any clues from the costumed character who was singing and chanting at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, the schedule did not say that it was not allowed to replace actors.
"Singing really well."
moment.
Ning Qianxia wiped the corners of her eyes, "What's wrong, you're looking for me?"
Seeing that the other party's expression returned to normal, Qin Jian explained the reason: "Yue Hong opened her voice just now and said she couldn't open her voice. I think she may be too nervous. I want to see you to see if there is any way to make her relax."
one time."
"Let's go and have a look."
The two said and left.
On the big screen behind him, Turandot took its final call.
Next on the stage was the team of teachers and students from Haishi Conservatory of Music, the host team of this competition.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, there was applause that did not belong to Turandot.
Backstage, Qin Jian was busy giving everyone the final psychological preparation, while on the stage, Shanghai Academy was watching a good show.
Act II of Tchaikovsky's "The Queen of Spades".
The horrifying storyline and almost absurd surrealism are uniquely presented by the Haiyuan team. The warm-toned stage background weakens the character conflicts in the background of the story.
The magnificent aristocratic ball is the main attraction of this scene. It can be seen that the creative staff wanted to use the background of the Queen of Spades story to stage a "wild and fun" Russian folk song and dance, changing the tragic characteristics of Lao Chai's music
, the orchestra used abnormal orchestration to highlight the 'unreal' and 'surreal' effect of the stage.
The Marketing Director of EMI Asia, who has not spoken yet, also spoke highly of this unique design.
From his perspective, such works also have market value.
With Xiyinyuan taking the seventh place with the unconventional "The Rise and Fall of Mahagenicheng", the competition has entered the final fierce stage.
"Everyone, let's make the final preparations."
"It's cold inside the corridor, so the brass pipes should be careful to keep the temperature of the instrument."
"Wukuan corrected the reed in advance."
Qin Jian said and looked at Chen Tangjie, "As soon as the eighth team comes on stage, you will take everyone to the back to face the sound. Just follow the 442hz of the tuner."
"Okay." Chen Tangjie said.
"Shasha, take the string section to warm up your hands and go through the opening."
"No problem." Li Shasha said.
Qin Jian's eyes moved to Yue Hong, who played the role of Princess Pamina, "How is it? Is it much better?"
Yue Hong nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, President, Sister Qian Xia's method is really good. I have no problem."
Qin Jian gave Ning Qianxia a thumbs up, but the latter just shrugged indifferently.
One order has been issued.
Qin Jian gave Zheng Feng one last instruction and then walked towards the backstage exit.
The next thing to do was Cai Song's Magic Flute, he had to see it for himself.
As soon as he exited the corridor, he found Ning Qianxia following behind him.
Stopping, he asked: "Are you going too?"
"Your question is very strange." Ning Qianxia said.
"Uh, we're about to go on stage, won't you accompany everyone?"
Ning Qianxia rolled her eyes, "Qin Jian, am I your nanny?"
