Professor Wang Jiyan has listened to concerts all over the world, and his critical articles have appeared in major media in the industry. Listening to his opera is a rare opportunity and enjoyment.
He introduced the representative figures and works that promoted the development of opera in various periods, and explained the structure of opera works. Rendering of overture, aria for men and women, chorus, stage setting, and dance at the end of the celebration. He said that the ideal beauty of the opera Ideal is the most beautiful opera. He listened to 17 times this month, and tonight's is the most beautiful! Tenor Gao Guangyuan studied in Italy for 8 years. Very authentic! Opera is like football to Italy, which is Italian culture. People are drinking beer and talking about opera in the streets and alleys, and they queue up at 5 am to buy tickets to see the opera. They are fascinated. When I heard the chorus, simple and lyrical praise, I found the feeling of opera. Singing your own life with drama, just like Er Quan in China, is grounded, not Chun Xue.
Professor Wang introduced the masterpieces of Verdi, such as La Traviata, The Clown, Aida, Character Analysis and Background Story. Knowing this, it is easy to understand the content and expression of the work.
The two-hour master lecture greatly improved my understanding of Chinese opera.
I hope Wuxi will have more opportunities to listen to high-level operas and master classes.
