Looking for musicals

About the author:

Hugo (1802 ~ 1885) was born in Besson, eastern France. His father was a general under Napoleon, and his mother was a Catholic and royalist. Hugo was greatly influenced by his mother when he was a teenager.

185 1 ~ 1870, Hugo was exiled to some islands in Belgium, London and Britain. 1870 returned to France to settle down.

The poem written by Hugo 15 was awarded by the French Academy. 1822 published the first collection of poems "Ode" and the first novel "The Devil in Iceland".

Notre Dame de Paris was published in 183 1.

Hugo was a pioneer of romanticism. He wrote130,000 poems and 9 novels, with a literary career of 60 years.

His major works include Notre Dame de Paris, Les Miserables, Smiling Man, 1993, Marine Labors, Ahani, Lyu3 bu4, Poems, Legends of the Century, Punishment Collection, etc.

Hugo died in 1885, and the French people held a state funeral for him. Three million people came to his coffin to mourn, and he was buried in the Pantheon in Paris, which was dedicated to this great man.

Hugo is not only a great writer, but also an excellent painter, photographer, politician who struggled all his life and pioneer of humanitarian socialism.

Yesterday, I walked into the Great Hall of the People and watched a musical adapted from Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, which was performed by the original French team. It is said to be the first original musical staged in Beijing, which has been well received by many people in the industry and the society. It is said that someone in France has watched it 30 times in a row. The actors and creators of the play are as follows:

Screenwriter: (luc plamondon) Luke? East Pramont

Director: (Jill Matthew) Jill? Ma Yu

Composer: (Richard Cochiante) Richard? Kushhart

Esmeralda: Shirel.

Quasimodo: Rehan? Gretel (Jerome Collet)

Mescher? Michel passacar

Richard? Richard Sharay

Heidi? Roddy Julianne

Lily: Anna? Anne Mesu

Green Piro: West Haihe River? Cyril Nicolai

The performance is divided into two acts. In the first act, starting from the cathedral, gregor is the lead singer. At first, the voice was loud without losing Hugo's epic sense of Paris architecture in the original work. In addition, the singer's handsome and angular appearance conforms to the romantic temperament of a French poet, which makes the opening performance light up people's eyes and make their ears more enjoyable. At first, then "illegal immigrants" was sung by Kropan, who sang a true portrayal of the homeless. Their fate is caused by society, social class and injustice, so Cropan's focus is full of resistance and accusation, just like the lyrics of "accusation" and "overthrow" he sang in later plays. The Appearance of frollo The appearance of frollo seems to herald a tragedy. Verhulo's singing is not easy to remember, but as soon as he hears his voice, he can feel that his voice is suppressed. Although his repressed soul is knowledgeable and close to a god, you can clearly hear that the bottom of his voice is helplessness and humanity. Then "Bohemian Girl". Esmeralda's factory excited the audience and felt a little uneasy around them. After all, she was so beautiful (although I was sitting on the second floor) that I could hardly see her face, but from the dance, I could not help feeling that she was dancing in the square dance, full of energy, beauty, kindness and innocence. In Pope Fool, quasimodo appeared, and anyone who has read the original can roughly imagine his appearance, but how did he walk, how did he ring the bell, and so on? When I saw him using the waving of his arms as the driving force for walking, everything suddenly became clear. But when I think of his tragic ending two hours later, I feel sorry for him. His voice is a little hoarse, but it seems carefree at this time, which is much more comforting than seeing Esmeralda but not seeing her love and hating God's injustice. The first act ends with the Greek word "destiny" engraved on the wall of Notre Dame. (It seems to be written like this, Anal Kea)

The second act begins with Florence, with two singers, and their voices are harmonious and loud.

The process in the middle is very tight and tense, just like the scene where Vihoulo insulted Esmeralda. When she saw that she was going to be molested, quasimodo's appearance made people ecstatic, although everyone knew there would be such a scene. I believe everyone knows that Esmeralda died by hanging and quasimodo died by love. Finally, quasimodo screamed at the top of his lungs beside his lover, complaining about all the unfairness in the world. Finally, quasimodo continued to sing and dance, my Esmeralda. It's heartbreaking As for another very important person, Captain Phoebe and his lover Lily. Filippis's voice is a bit like Grignard's, with a romantic and elegant feeling in it, but he can hear the feeling of bohemian in his character. Although his love words to Esmeralda are sincere, like all love, he is as confused as the lover who lost his eyes in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. So after being stabbed by Vihulo, in order to save her love with Lily, she ignored her lover who had vowed to swear and let her hang …

Generally speaking, this musical is beautiful in both the singer's voice and the performance of the whole stage. The music is lively, rigorous and solemn. The performance on the stage is gorgeous, the lighting effect is very good, and the dancers are also very energetic, especially the one who plays the tramp, jumping out of the spirit that the tramp lives at the bottom but is still full of vitality. The arrangement of stage scenes is also very thoughtful. It should be said that the arrangement of musicals is very troublesome and demanding. This is also the reason why musicals were not introduced to China before. But this performance feels that the effect of the stage is very good, and it looks very simple, but it vividly shows everything about Notre Dame. It creates a very good environment for actors to perform.

It is very exciting to be able to enjoy the beauty brought by elegant art on the spot, which has to be said to be a spiritual sublimation. If I were at home, I think I might not see the actor's last curtain call. When I finally watched quasimodo fall on Esmeralda, the performance was over and the audience was in complete darkness. Then I watched all the actors come out in pairs. I was very excited when I saw quasimodo and Esmeralda coming towards us. Of course, the audience also danced. In the final curtain call, perhaps because it was the first performance, our troubadour improvised the best part of the play. In fact, some people will sing along with French, and everyone will hum along. This scene is really touching. From the moment I saw quasimodo and Esmeralda, I knew that they would live by my side forever, instead of just living in books as before.

Fortunately, when I first came to Beijing, I could see and hear such a good musical. Although it cost me nearly a month's living expenses and the location is the cheapest, I still think it's worth it. I even have the urge to watch it again.

At the end of the performance, the audience walked out of the Great Hall of the People happily. It was getting late, so they missed the subway and had to take a taxi. Besides, they have to wait a long time to get one, and of course they spend a lot of money. It's already 12 o'clock back to school. The snow is falling, and the melodious music in my heart is still more than a dozen beautiful songs from all walks of life. When I fall asleep at night, the music is still playing. I can't wait to share it with you when I get up in the morning. As beautiful as the moonlight sung by foreigners, as exciting as the stranger sung by Kloppan.

In a foreign land of Beijing, accompanied by heavy snow, a person, echoing the lingering sound, danced. ...

In love, 1989.

Many people think that The Little-known View of Love is Weber's most mature work. This drama is undoubtedly the one that he spent the most effort and lasted the longest. Because he always wanted to write a touching love drama, Weber began to write about love in 1983. However, in 1986, he took over the Phantom of the Opera from his wife Sarah Brightman, and together they used several songs from the perspective of love. It was not until The Phantom of the Opera was released that Weber had time to finish The View of Love.
