Abstract

“You Want to Dance, My Little Count”, as a product nurtured under the influence of enlightenment, it not only has the transition task from classicism to Romanticism but also carries the era’s mission of awakening the hearts of feudal European society. Nowadays, the research and development of the influence of the new classical opera has been widely concerned by the academic community, but there are still limitations and deficiencies in the perspective of its multidisciplinary system research. This paper analyzes the artistic characteristics and secondary creative performance of the aria and the whole opera from the aspects of musical form structure, character description, social thought and singing technique practice. This paper analyzes the main feeling of each aria and highlights the characteristics of the enlightenment color and puts forward substantive exercises and essentials for vocal music practice, including pronunciation, phonation, breathing and so on. Based on this, this paper aims to contribute to the research of opera aria from a comprehensive perspective for vocal music academia, and explore the characteristics of the development of music creation in the future under the influence of enlightenment.
