Among many countries affected by COVID-19, Italy has been a concern of Chinese people. In the epidemic period, vocalists of both China and Italy jointly launched and presented the music TV performance named "Be Together" to inspire people to fight against COVID-19 through concerted efforts. The theme of Be Together was recomposed based on the well-known arias of Nessun Dorma in the Chinese Jasmine Flower and the Italian Turandot. 

In the "Be Together", the team of Chinese music producer Ma Jiuyue acted as Music Director, while the team of the famous director Zheng Haoshuai was in charge of photography and editing.

Ma Jiuyue started that Jasmine Flower and Turandot were perfectly combined while forming a striking contract, reflecting Chinese and Italian people's emotional fusion and mutual spiritual support.

The director Zheng Hao reported, "Jasmine Flower extends China's warm greetings to Italy as an oriental country, while Nessun Dorma gives a definite answer that Italy will win the victory with resonant song."

Chen Xiaoduo, a Chinese soprano, was dressed in a neutral-colored cheongsam. She said, "With the spread of the worldwide epidemic, people will be surely panicked and depressed, but we firmly believe that nothing can break the wings of songs. No fence or suffering can block our love and enduring beliefs either."

12 Italian artists got involved in the recording. Now, Italy is going through the hardest time of COVID-19, so all the Italian artists recorded their signing of the music TV performance Be Together with their mobile phones at the balcony or at home. 

Luciana Serra is the world's famous soprano. She was quite excited when she heard that Chinese and Italian artists would perform the music work Be Together across the two countries. She said, "I have many students from China. I have been thinking that I am these Chinese children's mother in Italy. I am 75 years old this year. I hope that I will have a chance to go to Beijing and visit the Great Wall."

Furthermore, several Chinese and Italian artists, including Katia Ricciarelli and Armando Ariostini thought that in face of the virus, Italian and Chinese people have become close comrades in arms. The synchronous and different comprehension and expression of music of two countries' artists reflect people's optimism in front of COVID-19.

在众多受新冠疫情影响的国家中，意大利一直牵动着中国人民的心。疫情期间，两国艺术家共同发起并隔空联袂演绎音乐电视《在一起》，鼓舞人们共同战胜新冠病毒。《在一起》的主题选用中国《茉莉花》和意大利《图兰朵》中的著名咏叹调《今夜无人入睡》进行重新编配。

《在一起》这部作品中，中国音乐制作人马久越团队担纲音乐总监，著名导演郑浩率团队进行摄制和剪辑工作。

马久越表示，《图兰朵》和《茉莉花》，二者形成鲜明的对比同时又完美融合，表达了中意两国人民的情感交融以及精神上的相互支持。

导演郑浩表示，《茉莉花》向意大利送上东方温暖的问候，《今夜无人入眠》则用嘹亮的高歌做出胜利的回答。”

中国女高音歌唱家陈小朵穿了一身素净的旗袍。“疫情肆虐，人们一定会经历惊慌失措，消沉，但我们深信，没有什么可以折断歌声的翅膀，也没有什么围墙与苦难可以挡住爱和生生不息的信念。”

意大利12位艺术家参与录制。意大利现在正是疫情最严峻的时期，所以在音乐电视《在一起》中意大利艺术家都是用手机在阳台或者家中录制。

露齐亚娜·塞拉是世界著名花腔女高音歌唱家，当得知中、意两国艺术家隔空演绎音乐作品《在一起》时，她十分激动。她说：“我有很多学生来自中国，我一直认为，我是这些中国孩子们的意大利母亲。我今年75岁了，希望有机会能去北京，看看长城。”

此外，还有卡蒂娅·里恰蕾莉，卡蒂娅·里恰蕾莉，阿曼多·阿里奥斯蒂尼等多位中意艺术家都认为在病毒面前，意大利人民和中国人民成为了亲密的战友。两国艺术家在同一时间的不同音乐理解和表达，共同展现出人们对疫情的乐观精神。
