Chapter 164： True Member Gold Card (1/2)

Most of the people who travel to France will go to the Arc de Triomphe and the Seine River; if you have the opportunity, you will definitely want to taste the famous French cuisine: foie gras and French onion soup...

and so?

Will Herb take his family to watch French operas?

Albert can't understand Herb's thoughts. Maybe it's a sufficient budget or a rare opportunity. Anyway, it's nothing important.

Before returning to the UK, the Andersons took a ride to the Opera Bastille, preparing to watch the opera scheduled not long ago to draw a perfect end to the trip to France.

In other words, this opera is actually the ”Romeo and Juliet” that Albert is familiar with.

Albert had watched the movie ”Romeo and Juliet” in his last life.

As for the opera?

Anyway, I haven't seen an opera in my last life.

With the ”help” of Albert, Herb successfully got the previously booked tickets.

After passing the ticket check at the entrance of the Opera Bastille, several people walked along the passage into the auditorium.

The opera house is usually closed in advance, and the Andersons belong to the last group of spectators, most of whom have already attended.

The four people walked along the corridor in the middle of the seats, and quickly found their seats through the numbers on the tickets.

In that row, five more seats were empty, and besides the Andersons, it seemed that one person did not arrive in time.

Albert’s right side is a pair of gray-haired elderly couples. They probably noticed Albert’s sight. The old man turned his head and smiled at him. Albert also politely smiled back and refocused his attention. Put it on the performance brochure issued by the Opera House.

However, the performance brochure was all in French, and only Albert could understand it. He whispered the contents to share with his family, and discussed the opera by the way.

Herb and Daisy once watched ”Romeo and Juliet” together, only in the British opera house, but this time in France, the adaptation and style of the opera may be slightly different.

The opera ”Romeo and Juliet” is divided into five acts and six scenes. Albert didn't tell the content. The drama is very unfriendly to Nia who has never watched it. It would be better to keep a sense of expectation.

While the Andersons were discussing the opera in a low voice,

The spectator in the empty seat next to him also hurried over, a middle-aged man in his fifties. The suit gave Albert an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

The middle-aged man seemed to know the old couple, and as soon as he whispered a few words, the bell of the theater rang, indicating that the opera was about to begin.

The whole theater went quiet for an instant, the already dim lights went out, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, except for the light on the stage.

”It's very atmospheric.”

Albert was not talking, and focused all his attention on the stage.

To be honest, Albert, who didn’t know anything about opera, had to use singing and music to explain and express the plot after watching the first act of ”Capulet’s House”. To say that this opera is still a bit charming, and to understand what is being expressed on the stage, is much better than the concert of Cetina Warbeck, a well-known magician.

The first act of ”Romeo and Juliet” talks about Romeo and Juliet meeting and falling in love, only to find that the two are enemies. The period is full of the lightness, elegance and romance unique to France.

Albert glanced at his family in his spare time. Daisy and Herb were already in a state of appreciation, but Nia, who could not understand the opera very much, was reaching out to cover a yawn.

Maybe it's boring!

This is not surprising. If he was just a child, this would certainly be the case.

In other words, the middle-aged uncle next to Niya actually entered a trance state. Obviously he had no interest in opera, but had to watch it with his family.

”Their voices are really amazing!”

This was Niya's sigh after the curtain fell, which made Albert next to him a little bit uncontrollable, but he still resisted not letting himself laugh, and just replied softly: ”Yes!”

Romeo and Juliet are both high-pitched types. Like Niya said, their voices are so powerful that they can actually make such a high pitch.

The second act did not allow the audience to wait too long, and was soon staged. The location was in the garden outside Juliet's bedroom. Romeo and Juliet secretly set aside for life.

Looking at the French in the performance brochure, Albert was at the end of the performance and in the free time when the curtain was lowered, explaining the approximate story of the previous scene to Niya

”I dare to say, they must not be together in the end.” Niya said after listening.

”It's definitely a tragedy how it is possible to be together in the end, such as enemies.”

The third act began with Niya's muttering...

As for the result of ”Romeo and Juliet”, naturally, as Niya said, it ended in tragedy.

Romeo was sentenced to deportation for killing Juliet’s cousin. The two sides were preparing to pretend to be dead for a lifetime, but the priest’s messenger was delayed in the middle, resulting in the failure to deliver the message to Romeo in time. This directly led to the fact that Romeo was in the soft and charming in Act 5 Under the tone of lyrical sadness, she took poison and committed suicide. When Juliet woke up and found that her lover was dead, she drew her sword and committed suicide.

The curtain slowly lowered, and there was warm applause in the opera house.
