Chapter 1066 The Phantom of the Opera
"...I will also invite an old friend, a singer and musical actor that you should be familiar with, to present this performance to everyone."
Even before Yang Qian even said his name, the scene became agitated. Ouyang Xiaoqing's Chinese name mixed with her English name resounded throughout the concert hall.
"Ouyang? Is she here too?"
Emilia's eyes widened and she tried hard to find Ouyang Xiaoqing's figure on the stage.
Who doesn’t know Ouyang Xiaoqing? She is so famous!
You know, before Ren Xingchen introduced Yang Qian to Amelia, Amelia liked Ouyang Xiaoqing's album that dominated the charts for a long time - although she had not watched "America's Got Talent"
, but the influence of music charts is still great.
Moreover, because Ouyang Xiaoqing is a Chinese singer, Emilia had a particularly deep impression of Ouyang Xiaoqing. When she and Ren Xingchen met in the dormitory for the first time, she took the initiative to mention Ouyang Xiaoqing to this person.
Chatting with a roommate from China.
As the audience guessed, it was Ouyang Xiaoqing who came to support Yang Qian's concert today!
As soon as Ouyang Xiaoqing appeared in a British-style white dress, the applause and cheers reached a new climax again!
The current Ouyang Xiaoqing is not the young girl who was just starting out. She already has the grace of a superstar in every move she makes. With a natural and calm smile on her face, it can be seen that she has accumulated enough experience in a large number of performances.
stage experience.
However, today's protagonist is Yang Qian. Although Ouyang Xiaoqing received enthusiastic cheers from the audience, especially the foreign audience, she just shook her hands and briefly responded to the audience.
"Ouyang looks so beautiful. Is there really nothing wrong with her and Yang? I mean, Yang is so young, even if she is her teacher, the age gap is not very big."
During this period, Amelia couldn't help but gossip about her Chinese roommate.
"Definitely not. Yang is a very traditional person! He has a family and a very beautiful wife, even more beautiful than Ouyang. Yang loves her wife very much, and they have a lovely daughter."
Ren Xingchen shook his head and categorically denied it.
"His wife is prettier?"
Emilia wanted to continue gossiping, but at this moment, as the lights in the concert hall dimmed, the audience became silent. Emilia could no longer continue chatting with her companion Didi. She also looked forward to it.
Watch the performances of Yang Qian and Ouyang Xiaoqing.
On the dark stage, only the outlines of people could be vaguely seen. However, it was not difficult to distinguish where Yang Qian and Ouyang Xiaoqing were, because they did not go anywhere else and kept standing in the center of the stage.
.
But at this time, the sudden sound of the pipe organ made people feel nervous!
Of course, the sound of the pipe organ is pleasant. After all, this is the Sydney Opera House. Its pipe organ is a giant with more than 20,000 pipes. In comparison, the 6,500 pipes in the Concert Hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts in China
The organ is just a younger brother.
However, the melody played by the organ at this time was particularly mysterious and strange, with a fast rhythm, one wave after another, just like a dark wind suddenly blowing in the forest at night, except that it had the sound of steel.
It felt even more powerful, and Amelia was frightened when she heard it!
What plot is this?
Emilia felt nervous but also excited at the same time, and she became very interested in the newly produced musical that Yang Qian mentioned.
As the music reached a peak and slowed down slightly, Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing came out from the darkness.
"Io me,
In dreams he came,
That voice which e,
And speaks my name..."(Note 1)
(Translation: In my sleep, he sang for me; in my sleep, he came to me; that voice called me, calling my name.)
The spotlight came down, shrouding Ouyang Xiaoqing in the white dress, as if her whole body was shining brightly.
Emilia shook her head slightly, looking intoxicated.
Sing so well!
As expected of Ouyang!
Emilia is not like Ren Xingchen. She lives in a Western country and is very familiar with musicals! Therefore, she can tell at this moment that Ouyang Xiaoqing sang very well live, not only in terms of pronunciation of English, but also in singing
With her authentic British accent, even her singing skills and aura, Ouyang Xiaoqing is not inferior to other Broadway actors!
After all, she is a talented girl!
After several years of experience, Ouyang Xiaoqing has fully developed her potential. Unlike when she first debuted, her ability may still be questioned. Now she can sing calmly and steadily, and can even compete with the top
Comparable to Broadway lead singer!
Of course, professionals may be able to hear more.
For example, this section is not actually Ouyang Xiaoqing's most iconic high note, but she still played it very well, with a soft and bright bass, just like a weak princess who still has her own strong opinions even when she is scared.
“And dain?
For now I find,
The Phantom of the Opera is there,
inside my mind…”
(Translation: Am I dreaming again? But now I find that the Phantom of the Opera is there, in my heart.)
Ouyang Xiaoqing's high note is late but arriving!
This high note made Emilia straighten her back and she almost stood up and praised loudly!
This is the charm of musicals!
You can listen to great songs and you can also hear such beautiful voices!
Ouyang Xiaoqing's high notes are not at full power at this time, but her sweet, light, graceful and flexible singing means that she can play high and low, with ease, which in turn reflects the true strength of a singer!
But what about Yang Qian?
Just when Emilia regained her attention a little and thought of Yang Qian who had not yet been born, Yang Qian's singing came one after another!
“Sing on with me,
e duet,
My power over you,
Greer yet…”
(Translation: Please sing with me again, our extraordinary duet, my power to guide you is getting stronger...)
The spotlight turned off, and Yang Qian appeared in the audience's field of vision again.
But in fact, Yang Qian is shining brightly at this time without the spotlight!
His singing voice is loud and powerful!
It seems that Ouyang Xiaoqing was overpowered!
"Who would have thought that Teacher Yang couldn't hit the high notes before!"
Ren Xingchen, who was next to Emilia, couldn't help but sigh.
Emilia didn't understand Chinese, but she didn't want to ask questions now because she just wanted to listen with all her concentration. These few verses sung by Yang Qian and Ouyang Xiaoqing made her blood boil. The previous feeling of nervousness and fear disappeared, leaving only
There is nothing but surprise and curiosity about this musical!
Of course, even if Emilia knows the content of Ren Xingchen's Didigu, it doesn't matter, because unlike Ren Xingchen, Emilia has experienced the history of Yang Qian not being able to sing high notes. She has heard of Yang Qian.
The English songs I sing already have a lot of high-pitched parts.
Moreover, if she finds it strange, it is that Yang Qian's high notes in this musical are different from what she remembers!
Aren't the high-pitched love songs that Yang Qian sings a bit sharp and soft? They are quite brisk and charming.
How come it has become so full of energy now? And its momentum has become so magnificent and fierce?
(Note 1: This song is the most famous and classic song "The Phantom Of The Opera" in "The Phantom of the Opera". If you know about this musical, you should have heard it. If you haven't, it doesn't matter.
