In most opera houses, the orchestra was a e so the audience could focus on the performance

An excellent orchestra would never steal the opera's spotlight They would impress the audience with fantastic music and immerse them in the opera from start to finish

Dresden's Orchestra was one of the ic Flute》 was the last opera Mozart wrote in his short 35 years The dreaiant serpent chased a brave, Egyptian prince, but three ladies, attendants to the Queen of the Night, saved hiave him a flute She then asked him to rescue her child from the ”Devil” However, the real identity of this so-called ”Devil” was the Leader of the Light Priests Thus, the prince was deceived into killing the ”Devil” because of the Queen's envy

Just like Mozart, who experienced a turning point in hisThe prince saw through the Queen's plot and ic Flute》 ushered in the perfect ending

Stories were always beautiful, but life was cruel As the greatest opera of his life, 《The Magic Flute》 earned hilory but could not save his life

It didn't matter what technique was used in the dark Even with the soprano, Qi Mu decisively abandoned the baritone part on the E-string and played the whole section on the D-string

Once a continuous s, no ers were, there would be a tiny gap

But, there was another string between the tenor E and bass D-string Playing the treble on the E-string in tande was a difficult feat for an arasp the treble accurately Butwhat if the bass and treble h speed?

When he heard the note ast the other sounds, Min Chen was astonished He turned to the person hidden ast the violinists

In the dark, the man's thin lips parted If anyone could read lips, they would have read——

『Caught you』

The opera lasted for nearly three hours, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it They were still iot together in the finale

Qi Mu had never perfornored before He trailed after the other members of the orchestra and bowed to the audience
