CCTV Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, baritone singer and dean of Shanghai ** Academy Liao Changyong and Solal, Gian Marco Charetti, Zhang Yingxi, Angelo del Vecchio, and Yuan Dai shared the stage to sing an excerpt from the ** drama "Notre Dame de Paris" "Beauty". (February 10, Shangguan News).
Thousands of lights outside the window, graceful in spring; The house was full of relatives and friends, laughing and singing. The reunion and peaceful Chinese New Year's Eve of the Year of the Dragon has come to an end in "Unforgettable Tonight", and we are stepping on the spring breeze towards a new 2024. Looking back on the night of reunion full of happiness, the annual "Spring Festival Gala" must be a commonplace hot topic, and among the many well-conceived and colorful programs, the stage appearance of the excerpt "Beauty" from the drama "Notre Dame de Paris" has really brought extraordinary surprises to the people of the country.
I looked across the hem of her gypsy skirt, and my heart swelled with unspeakable confessional ......"Gorgeous clothes, elegant and charming singing - excellent singers from China and France took turns to perform French ** drama with solid language skills and superb singing skills, leading everyone to appreciate the beauty of different art on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The French drama "Notre Dame de Paris" is adapted from the masterpiece of the same name by the French writer Victor Hugo, and since its premiere at the Palais des Congrès in Paris in 1998, it has been frequently performed all over the world, with a very high performance rate. When the author created the basic ** drama framework, he integrated a large number of popular ** elements, and skillfully linked bel canto singing and rock music organically, creating a very shocking audio-visual experience, which is known as a rare "masterpiece" in contemporary ** dramas.
With the secular experience of spring and white snow, the flavor of the year will be more thick and colorful. New and old singers were matched one after another, and Chinese and French actors gathered to perform. In just five minutes, there is both the breadth and brightness of the tenor and the rich atmosphere of the baritone. The romantic and beautiful French, coupled with the correct and smooth Chinese, has virtually narrowed the distance between my Chinese audience and the ** drama, so that everyone can truly feel the emotional and free charm of the French ** drama, which is of great significance. Liao Changyong, a famous baritone singer in China who participated in the singing, said that in the past, many of us believed that operas and ** operas belonged to the "spring and white snow", and they were very cold on the "palace". But today, these arts can "fly into the homes of ordinary people" with the help of the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so that ordinary people can feel their temperature and beauty, which is commendable. Indeed, the sketch cross talk at the party can send you bursts of joy, magic acrobatics make us applaud again and again, and the classic and outstanding ** drama will also make us pleasing to the eye.
On top of the joy, there is also a deep and interdependent international friendship. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and on the occasion of the Spring Festival, Chinese and foreign singers sing on the same stage, bringing happiness to the people of the whole country, and more importantly, to commemorate the longevity of Sino-French friendship. The two countries appreciate and attract each other culturally, bringing their people together. 2024 is also the Sino-French Year of Culture and Tourism, and the world-renowned Notre Dame Cathedral is about to be "reborn", once again stunning the world with a new attitude. The excerpt from "Notre Dame de Paris" in collaboration with Chinese singers is dedicated to us, isn't it the best wishes of the French people for the Chinese New Year? Each is beautiful, the beauty of the beauty, the beauty of the same, the world is the same. We hope that the art of drama can bloom with greater brilliance, and we also hope that China and France can continue to exchange and learn from each other in the new year, and work together to create a new glory of Chinese and French civilization.
The dragon is a symbol of auspiciousness and happiness, as well as a symbol of strength and courage. On the night of the reunion, we were pleased to see the changes and novelties of the Spring Festival Gala through a new program. There is no doubt that this is a good sign: in 2024, the Chinese will move steadily and far-reaching with the determination and firm belief to achieve a different kind of music in the Year of the Dragon.
