"Little Jiang Ying" wished Ailan
Best wishes to Elan
Speaking of Zhu Ailan, another related word is vocal music professor Jiang Ying. During the Republic of China period, many talented and beautiful people emerged in China, and when it comes to famous talents, there are countless of them, and Jiang Ying is one of them.
(*Teacher Jiang Ying)
As a soprano, she is handsome and accomplished, and not only that, but her relatives are well-known big people. The famous military theorist Jiang Baili was her father, the famous scientist Qian Xuesen was her husband, and Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong were her cousins and cousins.
(*Wishing Ailan and mentors Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen)
Teacher Jiang Ying is also quite successful in the cause of music education, peach and plum are all over the world, her students include Jiang Yong, Yang Guang and other famous singers, although Professor Jiang Ying has brought many students, but Zhu Ailan's name and Jiang Ying appear at the same time as the frequency is very high. Even because her face resembles Teacher Jiang Ying, Zhu Ailan is known as "Little Jiang Ying" in the industry, and she is also as gentle and kind as Teacher Jiang Ying, cheerful and generous.
(*Wish To Teacher Ailan)
Recalling the story with Teacher Jiang Ying, Zhu Ailan said: "When I first turned 17, I went to Beijing to learn music from Teacher Jiang Ying. At that time, I was still a child, sometimes I did not understand things, and confronted the teacher, but Teacher Jiang Ying tolerated me and treated me as her own daughter, and now in retrospect, everything about me, including my subsequent study abroad and studying music, was given to me by Teacher Jiang Ying. I am very grateful to her." ”
(*Congratulations to Mr. Ailan's concert)
Zhu Ailan once said in an interview:
Being an actor was my dream as a teenager. ...... I once studied flute and Peking opera, and the results were all gone. Later, I was introduced to study vocal music with a teacher from the Jiangsu Provincial Cultural and Labor Troupe, and I studied for more than a year, and just in 1974, when the Central Conservatory of Music (then known as the "Central Five-Seven Arts University") enrolled students, I was fortunate enough to be admitted to the Vocal Music Department. If this is a turning point in my life, then being assigned to Teacher Jiang Ying and being her student is the luckiest thing in my life... At that time, there were very few opportunities to perform opera, so I had the idea of going abroad, and when I revealed this idea to Teacher Jiang, she immediately said, "Yes, as long as you want to go, we will try it." "Then she helped me choose the tracks, the lessons, the recordings... Then I went to the United States. I remember when she gave me a flight and said, "Now I've pushed you into the ocean, and I'll have to swim with you in the future." ”

It can be said that Professor Jiang Ying inserted the wings of his dreams for Zhu Ailan.
China's "Madame Butterfly" "Qiao Qiao Sang"
As one of the most active Chinese soprano singers on the international opera stage so far, with the longest and most frequent performances, Ms. Zhu Ailan has starred in more than 20 operas in more than 20 opera houses in Europe and the United States for more than 30 years.
(*WishIng Mr. Ailan in the opera Othello, Desit Mona)
In the 2008 opera "Madame Butterfly", the image of "Qiao Qiao Sang" played by Teacher Zhu Ailan can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the artistic director at the time, Guo Shuzhen, was highly recognized for her presentation.
(*Wish Mr. Ailan qiaosang in "Madame Butterfly")
At that time, Teacher Zhu Ailan was very excited about returning to China to perform "Madame Butterfly", and she thought that the role of Qiao Qiao Sang was very demanding for the actors, especially the scene of singing "Ah, Bright Day", in which pinkleton went abroad, the maid thought that he would not come back, but the loyal lady butterfly kept fantasizing about the happy moment when Pinkleton returned by warship on a clear morning, she faced the sea and sang the aria "Ah, Bright Day". Such plot precipitation and emotional changes make this singing section more difficult to sing.
(*WishIng Mr. Ailan in "Bohemians" Mimi)
In addition to "Madame Butterfly", many operas have survived to this day, except for the opera itself, which have left well-known singing sections, such as "Make Way for busy people" in "The Wedding of Figaro", "The Matador's Song" in Carmen, "My Dear Daddy" in JohnnySkiki, "Drinking Song" in "La Traviata"...
(*Opera "La Traviata")
"Drinking Song" is composed by the Italian composer Verdi and lyrics by Piavi. Made in 1853. The first act of the opera La Traviata was sung for him. This single-two-part section song runs through the whole song with a brisk dance rhythm, bright high colors and a melodic motivation of six degrees of big jump, showing the protagonist's desire and praise for sincere love, full of youthful vitality.
(Audio "Drinking Song")
"My Dear Daddy" is an aria from Puccini's one-act opera JaniSki, in which a woman pleads with her father to promise her to pursue her love, and the melody is extremely beautiful, affectionate and moving.
(Audio "My Dear Daddy")
This time, the famous singer, Ms. Zhu Ailan and her students, will come to the Hangzhou Grand Theatre, not only singing the stories in the opera to everyone, but also presenting songs of various ethnic styles.
