On September 12th, Delibes' opera, Lakmé, co-produced by the NPCA, Royal Opera House Muscat, Verona Arena Foundation, and Los Angeles Opera, premiered at the NCPA.
Under the baton of French conductor Jean-Luc Tingaud, a multitude of internationally influential singers, including Beate Ritter and Marco Ciaponi, joined hands with the China NCPA Chorus & Orchestra and young dancers from the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater to present a stunning performance.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the “Belt and Road” Initiative and 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Oman. Umberto Fanni, Director General and Artistic Director of the Royal Opera House Muscat, and representatives from the French Embassy in China, Italian Embassy in China, etc. watched the performance.
An unsophisticated girl, who is the daughter of an Indian priest, and a British officer, who fights for his motherland, fall in love. Varied conflicts between their different social strata, as well as different social identities lead to an inevitably tragic ending.
The conductor Jean-Luc Tingaud barely concealed his familiarity with French music. Under his baton, the China NCPA Orchestra gave a warm and highly expressive interpretation to the passionate notes.
Shortly after the beginning of Act I, the most familiar duet The Flower Duet appeared. Soprano Beate Ritter (Left) and mezzo-soprano Serena Malfi (Right) performed together in harmony, with their voices complemented.
Gerald, who violates a shrine, is unaware of the danger approaching him. Tenor Marco Ciaponi (Right) impressed the audience with an aria Obsessive Fantasy.
The singing and acting skills of other outstanding artists in the opera, including Pierre Doyen, HAO Miao, ZHANG Wenqin, HU Yue, and KOU Jing, intoxicated the audience. The members of the China NCPA Chorus, who portrayed Indian monks and businessmen, quickly took the audience to the mysterious land of India of the 19th century.
The unconventional artistic style and dazzling exotic charm have injected fresh artistic vitality into this world classic. It’s the first time that the NCPA has applied D3 holographic projection technology to ensure the complex synchronization of music and vision.
