Chapter 158 Top Ten Opera Houses in the World (Subscribe)

"Opera was born at the end of the 16th century and appeared in Florence, Italy around 1600."

"It originated from the theater music of ancient Greek drama. It is a western stage performance art that uses singing and music to explain and express the drama."

"Opera performances, like theater needs, rely on typical elements of the theater, such as backgrounds, costumes and performances."

In the garden outside the studio, Davidia involucrata looked demure, sitting on a wooden bench.

Holding a thick tome in his hand, his eyes swept over the book, and he read in a crisp voice.

In front of Gongtong were Qianhe and the others, as well as other members of the group who were temporarily free. They sat in a row and listened carefully.

Today's weather is very good, the temperature is gradually rising, and it is not too cold to sit in the courtyard.

The competition in Australia is an opera design competition, so it is necessary to have a sufficient understanding of the art form of opera in the early stage.

"1600."

I saw that Gongtong paused in her words, looked at the people in front of her, and asked, "Does anyone know what kind of background it was in that period?"

"Brother Tong, around 1600, that is, between the end of the [-]th century and the beginning of the [-]th century."

Qianhe reacted the fastest. She raised her hand, and after seeing Gongtong's gaze, she opened her mouth and said, "That time should be the peak of the Renaissance."

"Qianhe, tell me about the period of the Renaissance."

Gongtong nodded and continued.

"Okay, Brother Tong."

"The Renaissance is a European ideological and cultural movement that prevailed from the 14th century to the 17th century. It first rose in various cities in Italy, and then spread to Western European countries, reaching its peak in the 16th century."

Qianhe thought for a moment, then quickly interfaced:
"This is a period that brought about a revolution in science and art, opened the prelude to modern European history, and is considered to be the dividing line between the Middle Ages and modern times."

"The Renaissance is one of the three major ideological emancipation movements in modern Western Europe."

After Qianhe's words fell, she looked at Davidia involucrata and waited for the comment.

"Well said."

Dove Tong affirmed.

"Why did the Renaissance first rise in Italy?"

Gongtong asked again.

"Italy was the first country where capitalism sprouted and more cultures of ancient Greece and Rome were preserved, so the Renaissance first originated here."

Qianhe continued to answer.

This lecture in the garden does not seem to have anything to do with design.

But it was precisely because of this kind of question and answer, exchange and dialogue that everyone gradually became more and more familiar with the opera and the background at that time.

This is very important, without such a period of accumulation, the design works will be nothing without roots.

"I understand!"

In the front row of the crowd, fat man Su Mu suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly.

His words sounded, and everyone turned their attention to him.

"Fatty, what do you understand?"

Gongtong laughed and shouted.

"I just watched the introduction of the world's top ten opera houses."

While talking, Su Mu picked up a book from the side: "This is it."

The pages of the book were sixteen pages in size, and they were flipped through quickly, while Su Mu searched for the content.

Soon the pages stopped, and Su Mu held up the book in front of everyone.

It's a very fine print.

A large-scale, exquisite and detailed, resplendent classical theater is presented in front of you.

The building perfectly combines several architectural forms such as ancient Greek-Roman colonnades and Baroque, and is the pinnacle of eclecticism.

"This is one of the top ten opera houses in the world, the Paris National Opera, known as a theater where paintings, marble and gold ornaments complement each other!"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he quickly turned to the next page.

"This is the Milano Theater in Italy, also known as the Sri Lanka Theater, one of the three top theaters in the world."

"The neoclassical architectural style is regarded as the embodiment of perfection and a model of architecture!"

Continue turning pages.

"This is the Cologne Theater, one of the three top theaters in the world."

"Renaissance-style behemoth, countless columns in the marble corridor are like statues, with dazzling gold leaf"

"This is the Bavarian State Opera, one of the top ten opera houses in the world"

As the pages were turned, the opera houses were watched by everyone.

Gradually, everyone discovered that the top ten opera houses in the world have one thing in common, that is, almost all of them are the pinnacles of ancient European schools.

Su Mu closed the book and said in a deep voice, "Because the opera was born in that period, it was endowed with a classical atmosphere."

"So the opera house, or the top opera house, has become synonymous with classical elements and classical genres."

After the fat man's words fell, everyone fell into deep thought and gradually frowned.

Their team is following the path of modernism, but the opera house, the top opera house, is limited to the classical genre.

In this world, the modern school has opera works, but it is undoubtedly not on the same level as the ancient schools.

One or two can be seen from the top ten top opera houses in the world.

Even people have set a symbol in their hearts, the most perfect opera house can only have classical elements.

"Could it be...we are destined to only hand over an imperfect answer?"

At this moment, when Qianhe and everyone were frightened, there was an uproar among various classical schools in Europe.

Carrie Nereski, the most outstanding descendant of the Nereski family, an ancient family from Italy, backward and Britain, announced in a high profile that she will participate in the opera house design competition issued by Prime Minister Cahill of New South Wales, Australia!
And submit the competition application to the organizing committee at the same time.

The ancestor of the Nereski family was one of the greatest architects of the Renaissance, the hall-level master Brunelleschi.

Brunelleschi's most famous works include the dome of the Cathedral of Florence, the Florence Nursery, and the Bazzi Chapel in Florence.

Since the ancestors, this family has continued in the field of classicism. Among the three famous opera houses in the world today, the Milan Opera House in Italy comes from this family.

The Nereski family has a very high status among the European classical schools.

Kelly Nereski is also the most prestigious and talented designer in Europe, claiming to be the successor of European classical elements for thousands of years.

Before Gongtong, she was the young designer closest to entering the palace.

A little-known little competition attracted such a high-ranking girl from the sky to join. After everyone was surprised, they immediately found the reason.

The only special feature of this competition is the participant who was exposed not long ago-Bai Gongtong.

Bai Gongtong is the oriental designer who criticized the classical genre!
The young designers of various classical genres were in an uproar, showing excitement, and clamoring loudly, asking Kelly to attack the so-called leader of the so-called oriental young designers!
After hearing the news, even masters of the classical genre couldn't help but pay attention. Although it was difficult to express their opinions, they secretly paid attention.

"The top opera houses are the domain of the classical genre!"

The masters said in a low voice.

Seems to be in response to the high profile of the European classical genre.

Adrian Smith, the most talented young designer of the American modern school before Davidia involucrata, also announced to join the competition!

The design field in the United States followed closely, and they all turned their attention to the small competition with a prize of only [-] pounds.

Finally, the island nation's young designer leader.

Coming from a family of architects, Masayuki Kurokawa, the son of the world-class architect Kisho Kurokawa, also made a statement!

Kisho Kurokawa is one of the leaders in the design field of the island country, and his son is the leader of the younger generation.

After this announcement, the design circle of the island country is also very enthusiastic about the competition in Australia!

They shouted that Masayuki Kurokawa is the world's most evil genius, the leader of the island country's future design field, and will lead the island country to break through the bottleneck and enter the next stage of development.

The competition that no one cares about, the competition that suffers from the lack of excellent solutions, is suddenly exposed to the gaze of several major design circles in the world.

　Well, those who are still reading at this point probably can’t have any girlfriends. In this case, I don’t want to wish everyone a happy Valentine’s Day!
