Селес в роли Марии.

Драко

Опера Мария и Драко - игровое событие в игре Final Fantasy VI и одновременно коллективное название совокупности из четырех мелодий в оригинальном саундтреке игры, созданных Нобуо Уэмацу и Ёсинори Китасэ. Позже они были выпущены единой пьесой в различных альбомах-сборниках.

Во время оперы звучат четыре темы - "Увертюра", "Aria di Mezzo Carattere", "Свадьба" и "Grand Finale?".

В оригинальной японской версии игры музыка очень точно соответствует тексту, хотя из-за технических ограничений в игре нет живого голоса (за исключением попытки воссоздать тембр голоса с помощью звуковых форматов сопроцессора SPC700).

По ходу оперы исполняется самая знаменитая музыкальная пьеса во всей серии игр Final Fantasy - "Aria di Mezzo Carattere".

Игровое событие

Ariadimezzocarattere

Сцена из оперы.

In order to establish contact with Setzer, the owner of the only functional airship in the World of Balance, the Blackjack, Celes impersonates the opera singer Maria, with whom Setzer is in love. Although Celes successfully poses as Maria for the majority of the opera, Locke discovers during the performance that Ultros is planning on dropping a weight on Celes from the rafters.

The attempt to stop him ends with Locke, his allies and Ultros plummeting to the stage, knocking the actors playing Ralse and Draco unconscious. Locke thus attempts (and somewhat succeeds) to improvise this into the opera, and after battling Ultros, Setzer appears and kidnaps Celes as per the original plan.

The entire opera scene spans four tracks in Final Fantasy VI's original soundtrack: "Overture", "Aria di Mezzo Carattere", "The Wedding", and "Grand Finale?".

The opera is mostly in the game for one's enjoyment but also features a small game element. Three times during the opera the player has to pick the correct line for Celes to sing. Failing to do so will stop the opera and the player must do a new attempt; it is easy to guess which line is the correct one, however.

Сюжет

The Dream Oath

Рисунок Ёситаки Амано.

The armies of the East are battling the forces of the West. The hero of the Western army is a warrior named Draco, who is in love with the Western princess, Maria. When the West loses the war against the East and Draco is presumed lost, Maria is forced to marry the Eastern Prince, Ralse.

During a ball, the survivors of the West, led by Draco, launch a surprise attack. A duel ensues between Draco and Ralse, in which the latter is defeated and Maria and Draco go on to live happily ever after.

Текст

The opera has been arranged and performed live in its entirety numerous times, both in English and Japanese. Its lyrical content has varied accordingly, although it is possible to determine four different (albeit minimally so) versions of it:

  • The Japanese and the English versions of the SNES release of Final Fantasy VI.
  • The Japanese and the English versions of the GBA release of the game.
  • The Distant Worlds/More Friends version.
  • The VOICES/Darkness and Starlight version.

Impresario

The battle between the West and the East
was growing more fierce day by day.
On the battleground during a furious skirmish,
the soldier Draco of the Western castle Garou
thinks of Maria,
whom he left in his homeland...

Draco

Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
Is my voice reaching
To where you are?

Impresario

The West was defeated, and Maria's castle
came under Eastern control.
Maria, forced into marriage by
the Eastern Prince Ralse,
does not abandon her feelings for Draco,
but thinks of her lover each night
as she watches the skies...

Maria

My beloved, are you going to a distant place?
And we just pledged eternal love...
Through sad times and hard times,
I'll think of that shooting star as you.
Do I have to exchange vows with one I don't love?
What shall I do? I'm waiting for your words...

Draco

Come... Maria.
Dance a step with me...
Ha ha ha ha...

Maria

And I thank you, my beloved,
For my feelings may have swayed,
But oh so gently, and so kindly, you answered me
I'll wait for you forevermore...

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is searching.
For his dance partner.
Please resign yourself to this.
We've become a dependency
of the East, after all...

Messenger

The Western survivors are attacking!

Ralse

What?

Soldiers

Attack!

Draco

Wait!
Maria!

Maria

Draco!
I had believed in this day.

Ralse

Maria is meant to
be my queen.

Draco

Though it may cost me my life,
I refuse to let her go.

Ralse

Then we duel!

Impresario

The West and the East were waging war...
Draco, the West's great hero, thinks of his love, Maria.
Is she safe? Is she waiting...?

Draco

Oh Maria!
Oh Maria!
Please, hear my voice!
How I long to be with you!

Impresario

The forces of the West fell, and Maria's castle was taken.
Prince Ralse, of the East, took her hand by force.
But she never stopped yearning for Draco...

Maria

Oh my hero, so far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day.
It's just a fading dream.
I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity, for me there can be,
Only you, my chosen one...
Must I forget you? Our solemn promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do? I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more!

Draco

Come, Maria. Follow my lead.

Draco

Ha ha ha ha...

Maria

We must part now, my life goes on.
But my heart won't give you up.
Ere I walk away, let me hear you say
I meant as much to you....
So gently, you touched my heart.
I will be forever yours.
Come what may, I won't age a day,
I'll wait for you, always...

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is looking for a dance partner.
Leave the past behind.
Our kingdom is adopting the spirit of the East.

Messenger

The survivors of the West attack!

Ralse

Impossible!

Soldiers

Attack!!

Draco

Wait!!

Draco

Maria!

Maria

Draco, I've waited so long.
I knew you'd come.

Ralse

Maria will finally have to become my queen!

Draco

For the rest of my life, I'll keep you near...

Ralse

It's a duel!

Impresario

The war between the East and the West
Was growing more violent by the day...
Draco, a soldier from the West,
Thinks of his love, Maria,
Back at home...

Draco

Oh Maria!
Oh Maria!
My beloved, do you hear
My words whispered in you ear
As if I were by your side?

Impresario

The Western armies were defeated,
And Maria's castle fell into the hands of the East.
Forced to wed the Eastern Prince Ralse,
Maria still thinks only of Draco
As she gazes at the stars each night...

Maria

O my hero, my beloved,
Shall we still be made to part,
Though promises of perennial love
Yet sing here in my heart?
I'm the darkness, you're the starlight
Shining brightly from afar.
Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer
To you, my evening star.
Must my final vows exchanged
Be with him and not with you?
Were you only here To quiet my fear...
O speak! Guide me anew.

Draco

Come, Maria! Dance with me...
Ha-ha-ha...!

Maria

I am thankful, my beloved,
For your tenderness and grace.
I see in your eyes,
So gentle and wise,
All doubts and fears erased!
Though the hours take no notice
Of what fate might have in store,
Our love, come what may,
Will never age a day.
I'll wait forevermore!

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is looking for his dance partner.
Please, leave the past behind! Our kingdom is part of the East now...

Soldier

The Western survivors attack!

Ralse

Impossible!

Soldiers

Attack!

Draco

Wait!

Draco

Maria!

Maria

Oh, Draco!
I knew you would
Come for me, my love!

Ralse

Insolent rogue!
Knave of the Western Horde!
You would address my queen to be, Maria?

Draco

Never shall you have Maria's hand!
I would die before that day comes!

Ralse

Then it's a duel!

With me she'll know nothing but peace!

I love you so!

Draco and Ralse

Maria! Maria!
Return to me!

Will never age a day
I'll wait forevermore...
I'll wait forevermore!
Русский перевод

Концертное исполнение с японским текстом, английским и русским переводами (VOICES/Darkness and Starlight)

"Darkness and Starlight" is a rock arrangement of Maria and Draco included in the Black Mages' third studio album The Black Mages III: Darkness and Starlight. Because the opera scene in the game ends abruptly with Celes's kidnapping just before Draco and Ralse's duel, the whole lyrical content was unknown until this release. The album features the complete opera scene in a rock rearrangement which, while slightly deviating from the original version, was made to be as faithful to the original opera as it may.

The recording for the Black Mages' third studio album had already started when the idea of adding Maria and Draco came to Uematsu, and he decided to add it because he wanted to try something new with the album. He has stated that nothing had really changed from when he was composing Final Fantasy VI; he always wants the challenge of something new.[1]

Messenger

The few surviving soldiers of the Western army
summoned the last of their strength
and invaded the Garou castle.
Leading these soldiers with a fierce battle cry
and cutting down the warriors of the East
was a single hero, battered and bruised.
The soldier Draco had returned!

When Final Fantasy VI was first released key chains depicting the game's cast were available in Japanese vending machines. A Celes as Maria from the opera is one such key chain that was sold.

The Final Fantasy Cold Cast Collection is a limited edition collectible series featuring cold cast statues that display notable scenes from Final Fantasyseries. Only 3,000 Celes and opera house cold casts were made, each coming with a card and card stand that had the statue's limited number and description. The series has been out of production since 1999.
