2023-11-14

One morning in Macau, even sparrows held a concert on the statue of Xian Xinghai. The 35th Macau International Music Festival was successfully held in Macau from September 30th to October 30th. The music critics participating in the music festival had a conversation during morning tea time, and one of the senior music critics recalled witnessing the development of the Macau International Music Festival over the past 35 years and exclaimed, "Many music festivals have not been able to sustain their development, and the Macau International Music Festival has already entered its 35th session, which is a miracle in the history of music and culture." The music festival has gone through infancy, adolescence, and adulthood, and music has entered the daily lives of the public, It has become a way to open up life. Everywhere music is life, and the Macau International Music Festival serves as a leader in music life. Born to listen, every day of the music festival, the audience's ears are like wings inserted. The opera "Nothing is more profound than happiness," which is communicated every second, comes from the lines of a philosophical opera. The opening grand performance of Rossini's two act opera "The Sevilla Barber" is adapted from the comedy of the same name by French playwright Bomasche, and is an eternal classic in the hearts of music fans. This time, it is meticulously produced by the Royal Danish Theatre and emerging opera director Martin Limbo, and directed by the program director of the Macau International Music Festival, Liao Guomin, presenting a new look. This opera brings joy to life, and the prelude to the music festival refreshes the relationship between humans and time and space. Rossini's two act opera "The Sevilla Barber" was first performed in 1816 and was created by him for the performance of the Roman carnival. It is still a popular comedy opera work to this day. The Sevilla Barber "depicts a passionate Count who falls in love with the wealthy girl Rosina. With the help of the witty barber Figaro, he defeats Dr. Baltro, who is trying to occupy the girl. The young man and woman eventually form a good relationship. In 2018, the Royal Danish Theatre teamed up with Danish opera director Martin Limbaugh to create a silent film style with the aesthetics of black and white pantomime films from the early 20th century, using tones of "black, white, or gray"; From local to universal, the lively rhythm of "one scene to the end" is also cleverly set up everywhere; The stage is retro and playful, emphasizing both grandeur and humor. The dance beauty built over a week makes the audience feel like they are in a movie set, resulting in a rare "unity of scenery and people"; The multi-dimensional performance module leads to narrative performances from top, bottom, left, and right simultaneously, making the audience want to have a few more eyes; In the process of looking around, the multi clue, multi temporal mechanism will turn the audience into automatically generated physical actors. When the audio-visual experience enters the realm of elevation, the audience can feel the new vitality of the humorous and joyful opera through belly lifting. Unfortunately, the opera was cancelled two times due to the weather, but it still exudes intriguing theatrical power. In history, the most popular music of this opera was the overture, which was written in the form of a sonata without the opening part. After a long adagio introduction, the music at the beginning of the theme gradually introduced the listener to a lively and cheerful atmosphere, symbolizing the slow opening of this music festival in this overture, and thus the entire opera became the overture of the festival. 2.
