The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 338 The Marriage of Figaro, End

Everything that happened after that was just as Figaro had planned.

Cherubino, also known as a page boy, came to say goodbye to the Countess and Susanna in military uniform. He sang the divine mezzo-soprano song "Do You Know What Love Is" to the Countess and expressed his love for her.

The Countess was moved by the servant boy's song. After praising him, she called him forward, told him Figaro's plan, and asked for his help.

The boy servant naturally agreed to the Countess's request without any hesitation. It was a pity that he was about to join the army, and his heart was filled with longing for her rather than anything else.

He handed the military order in his hand to the countess.

However, just when he was sad, the countess told the servant boy excitedly.

No, there is still hope!

Because the matter happened suddenly and the count forgot to stamp his seal in his haste, it was still possible to salvage it.

While Susanna was changing the servant's clothes, she looked at the letter in surprise, her eyes also full of excitement.

She had watched the child servant grow up, so if there was a chance for him to stay, she would naturally not refuse.

Just as everyone was discussing, the count's voice was heard outside the door.

In order to avoid being exposed, the servant boy dressed in women's clothes quickly hid in the lounge next door.

After hiding the servant boy, Susanna also hid behind the curtain.

After confirming that both of them had hidden, the Countess opened the door.

The next second, the Count came in angrily.

His eyes scanned everything in the room and soon discovered that the Countess looked unhappy.

He saw that his wife had a strange expression on her face and became suspicious.

Just as he had done before in Susanna's room.

The incidents of catching the child servant twice in a row left a shadow in his heart.

He was even wondering now whether he would see the servant boy for the third time if he lifted the bed sheet.

The doubts in his mind were flatly denied by the Countess.

Naturally, she would not admit that the boy servant was in the house at that moment.

Seeing the Countess's stubborn look, the Count held up a letter of accusation and said in a cold voice that he already knew everything.

The Count looked around the house and soon noticed the door to the lounge. He immediately asked why the door was locked.

In order to protect the boy servant, the lady quickly said that it was Susanna inside, but the key was lost and she couldn't get out.

Seeing the Countess's panic, the Count found it hard to believe her.

In order to prevent the Countess from leaving his sight to rescue the boys in the house, he pulled her along to get tools to open the door.

While they were still there, Susanna exchanged places with Cherubino, letting him jump out of the window while she hid in the small room.

In each of their confrontations, Chen Qiu and his orchestra provided them with extremely perfect musical coordination.

Make their performances extremely entertaining.

The storytelling nature of the music is extended during the performance.

The perfect performance of the music even makes people wonder whether they should focus on the music or the performance at this time.

But no matter what, the intrigues on the stage did make them excited to watch.

It's just like a movie.

A small movie with only a few people in a room.

You can't even fast forward this thing.

I always feel like if I fast forward I'll miss a lot of things.

Whether it is the development of the plot, the expression of the singers' singing, or the performance of the orchestra.

At this moment, everything in front of them made it impossible for them to have any thought of fast forwarding.

They even want to slow down or play it in reverse.

After all, some of the actors' little actions are really interesting.

For example, Figaro's habit of speaking, the morbidity of the child servant, and so on.

But no matter what, the plot continues under the leadership of Chen Qiu.

Soon after the Count went out to look for tools, he returned with the Countess.

Without waiting for the Countess to speak, he ran to the door and began to pry it open, trying to open the blocked door.

The Countess, who was unaware of the situation, was very frightened. Her eyes began to become confused and she began to feel at a loss.

She was a person who tended to be gentle, and when the Earl was so angry, she had no one to rely on.

Therefore, under the seduction of Chen Qiu Band, she slowly sighed and confessed in a low voice.

The count was right; the servant boy was hiding inside.

Unexpectedly, the Earl became even angrier after hearing these words.

The first time I thought you were still young and forgave you.

The second time I went to Susannah's place, it was you again.

Now I come to my wife's place, and you are still here.

Are you the count or am I the count?
I don’t want to lose face?
The two quarreled madly.

The emotions of the music became extremely conflicting under the inducement of the orchestra led by Chen Qiu.

Everyone's heart was aroused.

The Countess showed weakness.

The Earl's toughness.

The Countess's despair.

The Count's anger.

Everything is burning on the stage.

Followed by a sound of slapping.

The count finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer and slapped him.

He had completely forgotten how he had pursued the Countess in the first place.

The only thing on his mind now is that he was cheated on.

But this slap completely plunged the Countess into the abyss.

Her eyes were desperate.

She finally understood what the mentality of her beloved husband was at this moment.

Under Chen Qiu's guidance, the band's sound became more and more passionate.

But this heat was like the flames of hell, burning her in the air.

Finally, she turned and walked towards her dressing table.

She began to fumble for the key, ready to open the door for the Count.

The count was not satisfied with her obedience and continued to chatter on the side.

The stage, roaring like a raging fire, has been completely ignited at this moment.

As the orchestra's principal soprano, the Countess used her own strength to push the flames of the stage to the audience below the stage.

Let them feel sad too.

But, the next second...

The door opens.

Susannah appeared behind the door.

Different than what any of them thought.

The Count opened his mouth in disbelief, stunned.

Not only was he puzzled, the Countess was also confused, her red lips slightly parted, a look of confusion on her face.

Chen Qiu raised his hand slightly, and the sound effect immediately followed.

Neither of them knew when Susannah had moved into the house.

But, as she had said at the outset, it was Susannah who was in the room, not the boy servant.

Susanna looked at the Count and asked him provocatively what had surprised him so much that he wanted to take the life of the little servant boy.

Chen Qiu chuckled, and the orchestra's gentle timbre immediately came on stage.

An indescribable weird voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.

The count ran into the house in disbelief, trying to find any trace of the servant boy.

It's just obvious.

He gained nothing.

He bowed his head and apologized to his wife for wrongly accusing her of chastity.

He expressed his love to his wife and complained about some of her jokes being too bad.

However, his behavior did not gain the approval and understanding of the Countess.

The two ran back and forth in the house.

The relationship between the two sides was exchanged again.

Who would have thought that such a bloody plot came into being during the Qianlong period?
The two sides were interacting with each other, and the stage was very lively.

It was not until Figaro arrived that the stage returned to peace.

Figaro originally planned to come and take Susanna away and escape from the Count.

But he didn't expect that his arrival would arouse suspicion in the earl's heart.

He dismissed the servants and left Figaro alone to ask him about the letter.

Figaro naturally said nothing about this and just said he was unaware of it.

The count's eyes were full of suspicion, but he could not find any evidence.

Just when the stage was at a stalemate, a gardener downstairs came running to report that someone had just jumped off the balcony and broke a flower pot.

It is clear.

The man who jumped off the windowsill aroused the count's thoughts again.

He looked at the three people again and angrily asked who the person who jumped was.

Everyone was feeling embarrassed, so Figaro could only sigh and take the matter on himself again. He admitted to the Count that he had just met Susanna in the lounge and he jumped off the windowsill for fear of being blamed by the Count.

I even changed my clothes to avoid being discovered by him.

Unfortunately, the gardener said that he had dropped a document. Figaro was startled and hurriedly ran towards the gardener, ready to take the document in his hands. Unfortunately, before he could walk over, the count took the document away and asked with a sneer.

"What document is this?"

"Maybe it's a bill or something, or a request from the bar owner? You should know that I often go out with these things."

"Oh? Are you sure? Then why is it that the appointment letter I see here is that boy servant's?"

At this moment, Figaro was sweating coldly.

His sentences became halting and difficult to speak.

"Because, because he is missing..."

"The official seal is missing!"

The Countess beside him reminded in a low voice.

Figaro's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, expressing his opinion in a very affirmative tone.

"Yes, that's right, the official seal is missing!"

The Earl's pupils dilated and he checked quickly.

When he saw that there was indeed no official seal on his appointment letter, he felt a chill in his heart.

Figaro, Susanna, and the Countess escaped.

They breathed a sigh of relief and continued to torture the count, making him speechless and trying not to find fault with him.

But anyway, the matter was finally explained clearly.

However, the next second, things changed again.

Mozart's operas never let the plot develop so smoothly.

It will always continue with twists and turns.

Just when Countess Figaro Susanna was able to relax a little, a group of people in black dresses walked in.

The doctor, with the head maid and the former music teacher, walked into the room and asked the count's permission.

They said that Figaro must marry the head maid as agreed.

moment.

The atmosphere on the scene changed again.

Figaro began to become confused.

Susanna's face was filled with anger.

The Countess was surprised.

The music teacher looked like he was enjoying a good show.

The doctor chuckled.

The head maid was all smiles.

Chen Qiu waved the baton in his hand, and the instruments of the orchestra moved in an interlaced manner.

Their musical performance and interpretation almost completely demonstrated the mentality of everyone present.

And among this group of people.

The Count and the Doctor were the only two happiest people.

The doctor is excited that Figaro is about to get into trouble.

The Count was excited. If Figaro had to marry the head maid, then Susanna could go home with him and have sex with him, and all these annoying things would be over.

The septet singing astonished almost everyone present.

Everyone has a different personality and different goals, yet they can blend together so perfectly.

Accompanied by the accompaniment of the orchestra and the curtain slowly drawing up.

Many people present had to admit it.

This is definitely the most interesting and entertaining opera everyone has seen this year.

It may not mean much in the world, but in China, where large-scale opera performances are relatively rare, being able to watch an opera of such level, a pure opera rather than a theme concert, is far more interesting than they imagined.

The curtain fell and everyone had time to rest again.

The staff can also change the scenery on the stage at this time.

It didn't take long before the stage opened again.

As everyone left, the stage turned into a huge living room.

The count was left alone in the living room, sitting at the long table, looking at the content in front of him, still confused about what had happened before.

He couldn't understand what was going on.

The development of the plot was slightly beyond his understanding.

Fortunately, they came back with a judge soon and the trial began.

The head maid said that she didn't want Figaro to pay back the money, but only wanted him to marry her.

The problem seems simple but is actually complicated. As a result, Figaro's life experience is accidentally discovered. He is the illegitimate son of the head maid and the doctor.

This is the magical blood relationship in Europe.

Who would have thought that a mother wouldn’t even recognize her own child and even wanted to marry her own child?
What European court romance?

The development of this plot is really too outrageous, but because it is a European opera, it is reasonable.

All in all, things took a turn for the better because the mother and son could not get married. The originally tense atmosphere was replaced by the joy of reunion. Only the count was not very satisfied.

The plot of the third act is a little simpler, but the plot volume is still large enough.

And all the foreshadowings laid out before finally had their response in the fourth act.

The crowd was confused.

In the chaos, Susanna stuffed the letter into the count's hands, but the count accidentally lost the pin on the letter.

At dusk, Barbarina was seen holding a lamp and looking for a pin on the ground. Figaro happened to pass by and asked her. Barbarina answered truthfully that the master wanted her to give a letter to Susanna, and the pin on the letter was missing.

Figaro was suspicious after hearing this, wondering if all women were unfaithful, and he complained to his mother. But the head maid did not believe that Susanna was unfaithful.

Figaro went to find the doctor and the music teacher, and he asked them to hide in the garden and wait for his signal. If Susanna really betrayed him, he would take revenge. Figaro was in great pain, and he almost cursed all the women in the world, thinking that they were all witches who seduced men.

As the night deepened, Susanna and the Countess exchanged clothes, and no one could tell them apart in the dim light.

At this time, Susanna had already discovered Figaro hiding aside, but she did not point it out, thinking that it would be okay to play a trick on him.

The evening breeze was cool and the garden was quiet. It seemed that only Rosina, who was dressed as Susanna, was there. She was a little conflicted and a little nervous because the person she was waiting for was her husband, but that person was not expecting her.

Such complex emotions made her singing even more mournful.

The soprano in the orchestra showed her strength to the fullest.

The orchestra amplifies this sadness into everyone's heart.

The Earl came to the garden in high spirits.

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

Now, Susannah was finally going to be his.

In the darkness of the garden, Figaro seemed to understand everything.

He was angry about this, so he went on the wrong side of the fence and expressed his love for Susanna, who was pretending to be the Countess.

You want to steal my wife, so I will steal your wife!

As a result, the Count failed to deceive Susanna, and instead made her so angry that she tore off her disguise.

Under the guidance of Chen Qiu Band, the quarrel between the two became extremely classic.

It is obvious that the plot has reached its end at this point.

A performance that lasted more than three hours was about to come to an end.

The story of the two people going from confusion, to doubt, to mutual understanding, becomes so interesting under their singing.

Except that the Count passed by at this time and mistook Susanna for the lady who was having an affair with Figaro.

Figaro's plan was successful and he managed to make the Count angry.

He also succeeded in taking revenge on the Count.

But the angry earl could no longer keep his sanity.

He picked up a gun, angrily gathered everyone and denounced Figaro in public.

He kicked the door open and ordered the people inside to get out.

The head maid walked out of the house.

The servant boy came out of the house.

Susanna, come out of the house.

He points the gun at Susannah and sings angrily about the Countess's infidelity.

But the next second.

A low groan was heard.

"Well, I can always plead for her, right?"

The real Countess appears and looks at the Count sadly.

The Earl's eyes gradually became fixed.

He gradually understood everything and realized his mistakes.

The count knelt down painfully to apologize to his wife and tried to get her forgiveness.

Under everyone's gaze, the Countess did not look at him, but turned her back and whispered with sadness on her face.

"Okay, then I forgive you."

The light shining on her was so moving.

If her figure had not been slightly swollen due to her age, everyone present would have thought that the Countess was a character like Lin Daiyu.

After all, in this light, the Countess was incredibly beautiful.

In the eyes of everyone.

She turned and walked to the count, looked at the man she loved deeply, put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.

As the crowd sang.

"The Marriage of Figaro" finally ends at this moment.

As the last note falls.

Endless "Bravo" sounds rang out!
"Bravo!!!"
