Verdi's The Clown (four-act opera)
Clown (four-act opera) Verdi. The script was adapted by Boyavi according to Hugo's masterpiece "The King of Fun". 185 1 Venice premiere. Plot: The hero, Ligoletto, is ugly and hunchbacked, and works as a jester in the court of the Duke of Montua. The duke was young and beautiful, and took pleasure in playing with women, which caused dissatisfaction with the courtiers. However, Ligoletto mocked the humiliation of courtiers' wives and daughters and offended many people, which eventually led to the loss of his daughter: his beloved daughter Gilda was pure and beautiful, and the duke disguised himself as a poor student to secretly pursue her and cheated her love. In retaliation for Ligoletto, the courtiers cheated Gilda and introduced him to the Duke. Ligoletto was so angry that he decided to kill him. He lured the Duke into a hotel with his beauty and hired an assassin to kill him. Before dawn, when he took the bag containing the body from the assassin and thought it was done, he suddenly heard the voice of the duke singing, and quickly opened the bag, but there was Gilda disguised as an adult and dying. It turned out that the girl who learned of the assassination plan fell in love with the fake duke and was willing to die for him for love.
The composer created three different musical images, namely, a jester with soft personality and changeable heart, a romantic and flashy duke, and a pure and affectionate Gilda full of poetic fantasy. In the third act, Ligoletto's aria broke the strict structure of the aria and used a more free form and recitative music language. The characteristic theme of crying and intermittent "La La La" appeared many times in the tune, vividly depicting his specific feelings of having to smile to hide his extreme pain and fear. In the second act, Gilda's famous aria Dear Name is gorgeous and charming, full of romantic fantasy and lyrical atmosphere, beating the warm and ecstatic heart of the first love girl. In the fourth act, the duke's lyric song "Women Love to Change Their Hearts" is a wonderful portrayal of this love expert with a relaxed and lively rhythm and fancy tone. In the same scene, the Duke's quartet with Madonna, Gilda and Ligotto begins with the Duke's usual false and enthusiastic tune, Madonna responds to him in a sarcastic tone, followed by Gilda's disappointed and painful lament, and finally Ligotto's gnashing voice determined to take revenge. The four themes alternate and overlap, and the dramatic effect is extremely strong. It is one of the two most outstanding quartets in Italian opera.
Puccini's Turandot

The whole play premiered the next day. The three acts of this opera are: the first act, in front of the Forbidden City in Beijing. A continuous andante shows Turandot's motives. At dusk, all kinds of people in the square listened to the official announcement that Princess Turandot was going to marry the person who guessed three riddles, and if she didn't guess, she would be beheaded. The prince of Persia was sentenced to death when the moon came out because he couldn't guess. People became agitated and swarmed to the palace. Liu, the maid in the crowd, helped Timur, the king of Tatars. When Liu begged others to help him get Timur up, Timur's son Calaf met his father. The people around him dispersed, and there was a cry that the executioner wanted to execute him. Timur said that Liu Er took good care of him, and Liu Er said "I can't forget the prince's smile", which showed her inner love. The executioner sharpened the axe and sang "Oil sharpens the axe". The pursuers who were about to be executed shouted "Turandot, cold beauty". In the oriental atmosphere, the execution of the death penalty was described. After the chorus, the executioner left. Everyone looked up at the night sky in the square and sang "Why didn't the moon come out?" After the moon came out, everyone sang "The Moon came out" together, and in the distance came a chorus of children's voices "A stork is singing at the top of Dongshan Mountain", the melody of which was taken from the China folk song "Jasmine". The Prince of Persia, who was taken to the execution ground in the moonlight, was pale, and the crowd sang "Poor young man, please forgive the princess", while Calaf cursed the cold princess. In the moonlight, Turandot stepped onto the stage and everyone knelt down. She silently rejected the demands of the public. Calaf was fascinated by the beauty of the princess and said to herself, "It's as beautiful as a fairy, just like a dream." After everyone left, only Pamur, Liu Er and Calaf were left. Calaf shouted Turandot, wanted to run to the wall and knock gongs, and decided to take part in the guessing game. Three ministers, Ping, Pang and Pang, appeared in masks and suggested, "What do you want to do? Turn around, or your life will be in danger. " Three people said, "A beautiful princess is just a woman with a face, two hands and two feet." The maid asked everyone to keep quiet because the princess was resting. Three ministers told Calaf: The three mysteries cannot be solved, so it is better to go back quickly. Calaf said, "Only I am her lover." Palmer said to him sadly, "Do you want to abandon your old father?" The weeping Liu Er sang the aria "Signore, ascolta" and begged the prince not to take risks. Calaf was moved to sing the aria "Don't be partial, Liu", expressing her firm determination while comforting Liu. Despite everyone's dissuasion, Calaf ran to the wall and shouted Turandot's name three times. Although Liu Er and others shouted "death", he still banged three gongs to show his proposal. The band played the theme of Turandot, and senior officials said it was all over.

He used all his energy to compose this requiem for himself, and finally fell down because of fatigue. The magic flute has both the solemnity and lightness of opera. Its music skillfully combines mysterious and sacred religious colors with clear and cheerful secular colors, which is very beautiful. In addition, Mozart himself likes the opera The Magic Flute very much. He personally conducted the first and second performances. A few hours before he died, he longed to hear the music of the magic flute. He asked someone to put the clock on the bedside to calculate the time and imagine the performance of the magic flute.
