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.
"Well, the opera is not bad, right?" Herb asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Albert thought for a while and said again, "but I still think the movie is more suitable for me."
"Where is Niya?" Daisy asked.
"Here, I have been holding her hand." Albert's gaze fell on the empty seat in front, and the middle-aged man actually left the field halfway through?
When did it happen that I didn't realize it?
"Niya, what are you doing?" Daisy reminded with a frown. "It's going to go, grab Albert's hand and don't get lost."
"Come on." Herb said again, "Don't push, don't rush, follow the flow of people and slowly leave."
"I know this, Niya is gone." Albert responded.
After leaving the Bastille Opera, Nia suddenly asked: "Albert, you said that if the messenger could feel in time, would Romeo and Juliet be together?"
"No!" Albert said quietly.
"Why?" Niya tilted her head and asked.
"Because the messenger will always be late, even if he is not late, Shakespeare will let the messenger be late." Albert said lightly.
"Ahem! Albert means that Romeo and Juliet are only characters in the drama, so their fate is already doomed." Herb was choked by Albert's words and quickly explained.
"What if it is in reality?" Niya asked again.
"They will definitely be together." Daisy was the first to comfort her. She stared at her son and husband with a little dissatisfaction and told them to shut up. Don't spoil the romantic atmosphere here. The girls naturally hope that Romeo and Juliet can Together, not buried together after death.
"Niya, what were you picking up just now?" Albert changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, I just picked up this thing." Niya handed a golden card in her hand to Herb. "It should be lost by someone in the audience."
"What is this?" Herb was also taken aback after reading it. Because this is not a nominal gold card, but a real gold card, a gold card made of gold.
"Gold?" Albert stared at this gold card and frowned slightly.
In fact, they all feel quite speechless. In other words, the gold card means that they did not expect that someone actually used gold to make a gold card. This is so painful.
Is the world of local tyrants really confusing?
"Wait here for a while, I'll give it to the staff of the Bastille Opera." Herb finished, preparing to return to the Bastille with the gold card, and give it to the staff there.
"Let me take a look, I always find the text above is a bit familiar."
Herb found that he could not read the text on the gold card. However, the image is understandable, it looks like a pot and a stick.
When Albert just took the gold card, an accident occurred suddenly, and the hand holding the gold card suddenly deflected in a certain direction, as if there was a powerful force preparing to take the gold card away.
"How is this going?"
Albert immediately reacted. When the gold card was about to slip out of his fingertips, he almost instinctively grasped it, and focused his attention on the gold card. The protective bracelet on his wrist counteracted the effect of the flying curse.
"What happened just now?" Herb was taken aback, and he saw the picture of the golden card almost flying away by himself.
"A wizard is using a spell to summon it." Albert explained casually, "but that **** will really cause me trouble."
"What's the matter?" Daisy asked.
"I don't know if the other party will use the Flying Curse to be deducted on my head." Albert murmured, and he hated that he would become the Back Pot one day.
Only then decided to buckle this gold card. As for the iron armor curse on the protective bracelet?
The magic on the magic props will not be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, just like using a flying broomstick, so Albert doesn’t worry about it at all~www.novel35.com~ You mean..." Niya asked in a low voice. "The man next to us was a wizard? "
"Don't discuss these things here." Albert warned in a low voice.
"Return this gold card, or give it to the people at the Bastille Opera?" Daisy suggested. She didn't want an unknown wizard to suddenly come to ask for a gold card.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Albert glanced at the Rune text: Extraordinary Pharmacists Association.
If not harassed by the owls of the Ministry of Magic, Albert will return this membership gold card to the original owner through other means.
If you are really inexplicable, wait for the other party to help resolve the misunderstanding before returning to the other party.
Having said that, are these pharmacists rich? It is so extravagant to use gold as a gold membership card.
Moreover, this gold membership card is actually a magic item?
