"Chekhov, get up and let me play!”the tsar said.
"Your Majesty, you can play the piano too?" Chekhov was surprised, but he still stood up obediently and gave up his seat.
"It's not that you're underestimating me. In Prussians, every noble family has a piano.”
Catherine sat down and started playing 'Catherine by the Water'.
After the song was played, everyone applauded.
"Thank you, Wester.”
"Very good. You've played this song very skillfully. It's as smooth as flowing water and there are almost no mistakes!”Yang Yin said.
"I knew it. Compared to you, I'm still far inferior!”
"Not far. His Majesty is busy with state affairs all day, so he naturally doesn't have much time to focus on the piano. If you can invest more time, you will definitely play better than anyone else!”
"I can talk. But then again, where did you get this piano? It's too outstanding. As I played it, I felt like the music god was possessing me. It felt so good!”
"Is that so? I secretly ordered someone to make this and not sell it to the outside world. Chekhov doesn't have it if he wants it, but if His Majesty wants it, let's move it to Catherine Palace!”Yang Yin said.
"Biased!" Chekhov was speechless. He glanced at his sister. No matter what, he didn't dare to compete with the tsar. He only hoped that his sister would speak up.
Veronica wasn't stupid. She wouldn't stand out.
"Your Majesty, you should go back to the palace first. In the evening, there will be a Ballet called 'Swan Lake'. I sincerely recommend you to watch it because this play will also be a highlight in the history of Ballet.”
"Is that so? Since you say so, I'll definitely watch it!”The tsar came up and touched Yang Yin's cheek before bringing her people back to the palace.
"Everyone, go rehearse. Leave the stage of the Grand Theater to others first. It'll be ours tonight!”Yang Yin said.
"Yes, my lord!"
Everyone dispersed and started rehearsing.
Night fell.
The ring-shaped opera house was still popular, especially among the nobles. Every night, they would go out in pairs. Most of them were night owls and social cats!
Once again, all the seats were filled.
The curtains were pulled open, and in the darkness, eighteen women in white tutu walked in on their tiptoes.
Behind the stage, someone was holding a torch just for the stage effect. This was the primitive stage lighting.
"Damn, it's still a little lacking. In this era, there are no electric lights, so there's no lighting effect. What a bad review. Do you want me to invent electric lights?”
Yang Yin really wanted to complain.
People watched quietly, feeling extremely beautiful.
In this era, ballets had become popular throughout Europe. The ballets of the Russian Empire were slightly inferior to those in Europe.
There was nothing he could do about it. Even if he wanted the Russian aristocrats to be vassals and elegant, he still needed time to nurture them.
Yang Yin and the Tsar sat together.
"Sophia, what do you think? This Swan Lake script is written by me. As for the rehearsal, I hired a master!”Yang Yin whispered.
"It's really good. When I was in Prussians, I especially liked the Ballet. I thought it was very elegant, and I even went to learn it specially. It's just that I'm not very proficient.”
"I see. Then you have to take a good look. This Ballet is not inferior to the high-level ballets of any European country!”
"Good!"
As the beautiful dance of Swan Lake slowly unfolded, everyone was shocked.
Not only the dance, but the music was also extremely exciting.
After the first scene ended, everyone stood up and clapped.
"Looks like this drama is going to be a big hit!”Catherine smiled.
"Yes, it's indeed going to be popular. Just look at everyone's reaction!”Yang Yin sighed. In this era, if there were one or two particularly outstanding dramas, they would definitely be very popular.
Because there were too few dramas!
Even a place like the Ring Grand opera house couldn't fill up its schedule every day. If it weren't for Yang Yin's recent crazy promotion of her own performances, the Grand opera house wouldn't be so lively.
The second scene began, then the third, and the fourth…
By the time the ballets ended, it was already two hours later. Everyone was enjoying a feast of song and dance!
"Unbelievable. This is the best large-scale ballets in the history of the Russian Empire. Even if it is placed on the other side of Europe, it is also the best ballets!!”
" Wester is indeed an all-rounder among geniuses. He can even rehearse ballets. I heard that the script for Swan Lake was written by him…"
" My dear Wester, you're so talented. I love the beautiful figures of these white swans. Unfortunately, I'm over 200 pounds. I can't jump even if I want to. Ohoho…"
A lady as fat as a pig laughed loudly and fanned herself with a small fan.
As Swan Lake ended, the nobles and celebrities left the theater and returned to their manors and villas. By noon the next day, the nobles 'praise for Swan Lake had spread all over the streets.
The Ballet Swan Lake was destined to be a hit. It was estimated that people would not get tired of it even if it was performed a hundred more times.
