大家好，真的是好久不見，不知道大家的年都過得如何啊？
是否在奮鬥雅思又抑或是在準備申請學校呢？
小編最近有點微微的忙，所以就疏於更新部落格也沒有什麼回信，
希望大家不要介意><
這個禮拜是小編開學第一週，真的是只能用一個字來形容—–
忙。
這學期感覺比上學期還困難，報告很多還有最重要的大魔王，
就是論文本人！
不過再怎麼忙，還是要懂的享受生活的。
因為昨日小編剛剛交完research proposal，所以今日就決定衝一發倫敦。
來場歌劇文藝之旅，今天小編所看的歌劇是悲慘世界(Les Misérables)，
這是小編人生的第二場歌劇。
小編人生的第一場歌劇是歌劇魅影(Phantom of the Opera)，
到現在都還記得燈掉下來那一瞬間的感動，因為小編真的是很愛歌劇魅影！
所以決定這次要來欣賞悲慘世界，相信大家一定也不陌生，
前幾年由休傑克曼和安海瑟薇等人主演的悲慘世界非常好看，
小編也是那時看了之後立馬愛上了呢！
故事背景小編就不爆雷了，有興趣的人可以去看一下電影。
悲慘世界要看將近三個鐘頭，
(不過中間是有中場休息十分鐘的，不然屁股真的是會坐到一個麻掉)
不過小編覺得和歌劇魅影的不同就是，
他雖然整個佈景沒有歌劇魅影那麼富麗堂皇，
並且幾乎得靠演員的演技來演出所需的戲碼，所以這就更厲害了。
悲慘世界的特點應該就是舞台中間的大轉盤吧！
演員出場的轉換、佈景的變化等都是靠那個大轉盤在運作，
小編在台下可說是看得目瞪口呆呢！
因為演員不僅要在上面唱歌，還要記得走位，有時候還得在轉盤旋轉時奔跑，
這一切的一切都是需要花很多時間不停地練習才有辦法那麼完美啊！
悲慘世界的歌小編最喜歡的就是Do you hear the people sing.
果然現場一聽更是不得了，氣勢非常的滂薄，小編內心可說激盪不已啊！
(題外話一下，因為歌劇都是現場有管樂隊在演奏的，他們就是坐在舞台底下，所以可以看到指揮的後腦勺其實滿有趣的～)
不過，小編覺得電影和歌劇不一樣的地方在於，感動的點不同。
電影讓小編感動的點是，那個小男孩被槍殺之前開始帶領垂頭喪氣的革命同志們唱Do you hear the people sing，而歌劇則是Marius的同袍都陣亡之後只剩他獨活他所唱的Empty Chairs at Empty Tables，小編最被他所感動的一句話是There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.(這種悲傷是無法言語的)。
想想看以前的人為了遠大的理想犧牲自己是多偉大的一件事，
小編有想過如果生活在當時恐怕是沒辦法像他們那樣為了理想而戰死吧！
來到這裡好像有點跑題了，最後的歌劇結尾非常值得跟你們分享，
就是所有演員一起大合唱Do you hear the people sing.
那種氣勢真的讓人難以忘懷啊～
小編深深的覺得來倫敦必做的事情之一，
就是看一齣歌劇來場視覺的饗宴，並且感受現場演唱的震撼！
因為小編到現在還記得開始時的慷慨激昂，結束時的悵然落失，
這樣你們還能不去看嗎？
溫馨小提醒：
1.買票可以去現場買或是那附近的售票亭，會比較便宜，但不一定有你想看的歌劇。
2.不管什麼歌劇演出期間全程禁止拍照攝影哦～
Hello, guys it has been a while, I am wondering how was everybody’s Chinese New Year? Hope is all good. Are you stuck in the middle of fighting with IELTS or preparing to apply schools? I am sorry I am a little busy recently, and I didn’t really update the blog or reply the emails, hope you guys won’t mind. This week is the first week back to school, I only can use one word to describe it- busy. I think this semester will be more difficult than the first one, due to the devil which is the dissertation! Though life is hard we still have to enjoy it and have some fun right? I just submitted my research proposal, so I decided to go to London today. I went to Les Misérables, this is my second opera the first one was Phantom of the Opera. I still can remember the moment when the light felt down, I really really enjoy and love it. In 2012, Les Misérables was played by Anne Hathaway and Hugh Michael Jackman, which I suddenly fall in love with it. I will not tell you what is the story about, you can go watch the movie and see the opera after. The show will take up to 3 hours, the different between Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera is that Les Misérables doesn’t have fancy stages as Phantom of the Opera does, but still is a very good show. I was shocked by the actors they not only can sing on the spinning circle but also have to run on it. I think practice do makes perfect. “Do you hear the people sing?” is my favorite song of Les Misérables, it was really touch when I heard it at the scene. There is a band sitting under the stage to play the music, it is a little bit funny seeing the back of the head of the command. The other thing is that I think the different between the movie and the opera is that the touch feeling is different for me. The most touching moment in the movie for me was the little boy sing the song before he got killed, but in the opera is that Marius was said and sang a song to grief his friends. The lyrics I like the most is “There’s a grief that can’t be spoken”, I don’t think I have the spirit to die for the country. Here seems to be out of the track of this blog, the last thing I want to share is that when ending all the actors will sing together. That is really an unforgettable moment. I think one of the to do list for London is “watching an opera”, I still can remember the feeling now, so what are you waiting for? Go buy a ticket now!
