Bear in mind she is doing this with NO mic, singing over the orchestra. That's how big a voice you must have.

Imagine being in the audience the night this was recorded. This woman's talent is beyond description.

Live on stage, not recorded in a studio, no microphones, exceptionally difficult song and ACTING the part of a mother telling her child to kill her father so you really believe it. I can only say "WOW"

Diana Damrau is an absolute legend. It'll be another generation or two before her performance is ever matched. Just amazing.

"If Zarastro does not feel mortal pain by you, then you aren't my daughter anymore!" FYI, the amazing part is not the high notes, but the trioles at 2:46.

My sister is a kindergarten teacher and they played Zauberflöte with the kids. One of the kids wanted to write down the first line of 'Arie der Königin der Nacht' for his parents so my sister helped him. It says "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen, Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her" which means 'The Hells revenge is boiling in my heart, death and despair is flaming around me'. Now that's a letter you want to receive from your kids 😂

Mozart originally wrote The Queen of the Night Aria’ ……this part specifically for his sister in law in the 1700’s. I agree this piece of music and all the vocalists who can sing this are Amazing. Every time I hear it, my eyes well up, because of how stunningly beautiful this Aria is. Mozart is truly one of the true GOATs!!!!! I am happy to hear that this music and singing moved you. It is such a good feeling when that happens, right?

Diana is flawless here, breathtaking..

I'm so glad you did this! Diana Damrau is incredibly gifted!

Soprano singers are from a different galaxy!

That's a Mozart for you...he was pure genius.

Who says 200 year old music isn’t powerful? Show them this performance. Diana Damrau is a BEAST, make no mistake.

This is opera. Notice - no microphones. Thanks for this reaction!!

The Queen of the Night’s aria is one of the most difficult arias to sing, which is why it commands such a lot of applause when a soprano sings it well.

Diana Darnau is the real Queen of the Night! Amazing performance of her ! Diva! Magnificent pro Magnificent ! That was her mother ! Diana Damrau my favourite Queen of Night!😍 I love her!!!

This aria is one of the most difficult to sing for a Soprano in all of Opera, and in all of music history!! The beauty of this aria is unmistakable, even if you are a first timer listening to Opera!

Good picking Diana Domrau, she might be the best performer of the "Königin der Nacht" right now. I always loved Christina Deutekom more, but that's personal preference. You should watch the whole opera, it has brilliant songs. It was an Opera for the people, the first Opera to have German song texts. Listen to the "Bird trader/catcher"... Don't know the exact title of the songs in English. This whole Opera is more like a children's opera. Like Peter and the Wolf (Prokofjew)... In Germany any kid (with a good background) knows it.

DIANA DAMRAU IS MAGNIFICENT

Brilliant to see the same amazed reaction on the faces of adults that I had as a 10 year old - most amazing aria ever!

Diana Damrau is the queen! Best Queen of the Night ever.

Every time I hear a person signing this song, I'm impressed by the vocal range. It's an incredible feat to perform this song well!

And this is live in an Opera house without microphones and a full orchestra playing with her.

It's even more 🤯over-the-top with the lyrics. They're in German & can be hard to follow, but it starts out with "der hölle rache kocht in meinem herzen" (...roughly "the vengeance of hell boils in my heart", but harsher) & quickly goes downhill from there. The gist of it is that she's telling her daughter to take the dagger she's giving her & murder Sarastro with it... or else she'll disown & abandon her forever. Mozart operas... they ain't always as cute + cuddly as most people believe them to be 😉

this QUEEN OF THE NIGHT aria sung by the legendary DIANA DAMRAU is from MOZART'S opera THE MAGIC FLUTE. here, the queen of the night is commanding her daughter, pamina, kill her father and the queen's rival. she casts a spell on pamina. this is the most difficult and most iconic aria in all of opera. mozart's birthday was yesterday JAN 27. he is 267 years old. thank you mozart for igving us such beauty.

Her walk out at the end is so legend. Btw great review. 👍

In case you were wondering, the queen is telling her daughter to kill the daughter's boyfriend (the protagonist) otherwise the queen will disown her and hate her forever.

High F... twice! Mozart takes no prisoners. :)

She's one of the greatest singers of all time. Mozart wrote this for her, for a voice like hers.

The Queen of the Night was written for Mozart’s sister-in-law Josefa Hofer in June of 1791 - both his sister-in-laws could since up to an A in alt -a 6th above the dreaded top C in alt - what a voice (like her sister Aloysia) she must have had ! Unfortunately Mozart died 6 weeks after the premiere on 30 Sept 1791-from a streptococcal infection after a Masonic Freemason meeting on 19 November 1791-which caus’d his old enemy from childhood (Rheumatic fever) to rear its ugly head - which led to kidney failure (as his near death experience on 31 Aug 1784 to 2 Sept 1784 which almost kill’d him) - symptoms included severe edema: inflammation of the limbs due to Uric Acid build up (kidney failure), which made it impossible to turn in bed-accompanied by high fever, projectile vomiting & diarrhea-and the over use of (up to 10) blood-sucking leeches plac’d on his back (as a quack remedy) to ‘remove the bad blood’ !! He also had a ‘deposit on the brain’ (= subdural haematoma, possibly the result of a fall from blacking out / fainting so much in early November 1791) - such a shame that M. was just shy of 36 years of age - during his lifetime (1756-1791) he manag’d to compose 935 pieces of music !! The botanist Ludwig von Koechel in 1862 track’d down 626 of them and gave them each a K. number in chronological order (he started composing music at 4 years of age) but more than 300 finish’d compositions have been located throughout Europe since 1862-as well as 320 unfinish’d compositions ranging all the way from 4 bars to 1,209 bars of music !!)

English translation: 'Der hölle rache kocht in meinen hertzen!' "Hell's Vengeance boils in my heart!"

My favorite aria of all time

I mean I had goosebumps, Imagine that girl feelings when her mother was screaming at her like that 🤣😭

I m glad for every chance to hear this piece of music. its mindblowing. and despite being about vengence and killing it never fails to enlighten my mood by sheer notes :) so angry and so grieving and so triumphant at the same time.

Diana Damrau's native language is German 🇩🇪.

Thanks so much for your reaction, I've watched twice. You've opened yourself up to a whole new world, if you like. I could suggest so many but I'll go with this compilation. "The 10 Most Popular Opera Arias - by classical music stars (Pavarotti, Netrebko, Deborah York)" Copy and paste that in your search. I grew up listening to rock/pop, grew into a classical fan as well. Happy reactions!

It's well worth taking the time to see the full opera. My favorite production is the Paris Opera in 2001.

Your eyes are so gorgeous! Both of you! Glad you liked the Magic Flute. One can't go wrong with Mozart.

guys what a great choice super voice so passionate in her role she's top of the top thank you for that great reactions

She's singing She's moving She's acting int the same time and with no mic ❤

lo bueno es que ustedes reaccionan a todo tipo de musica... incluso opera... bien por esta forma de raccionar.... felicitaciones a los dos

Your reaction is why I always feel bad for people who only subject themselves to pop music. Opera singers sing and perform on an otherworldly level, a level which most people these days highly unnecessarily refuse to navigate.

True story - According to Mozart biographer Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Mozart had worked on this project for a few years. Though Mozart had originally written the Aria for his sister-in-law Josepha Hofer, there were continual problem in the production and rehearsal of the aria itself. From an 1840 letter from composer Ignaz von Seyfried, the biggest complaint is that Mozart forgot to create pauses in the music score so the singers could simply breathe between singing phrases along with the beat.

Damrau ruled as Der Hölle Rache, she's telling her daughter Pamina to kill her father. Thiz one of the most difficult arias to sing. Try the Doll song from the Offenbach Tales, more difficult to sing and with higher notes. Sabine Devieilhe totally nailed it. Devieilhe is now 36 yo or so

I first heard this when as a small child, maybe seven, my parents took me to see Bergman’s film version of The Magic Flute. I was so blown away by this piece… I remember coming home and trying and trying to sing it. Fantastic performance here.

Ladies and gentlemen, Let me introduce u to Mr Mozart feat Diana Damrau

Welcome, this is opera. Greetings from Guatemala City in Central America.

Love this scene. A mother telling her daughter to kill a man or she will be disinherited. Very strong drama.

Your reactions is so sweet! Xxx

There's a KZfaq f her singing this piece without makeup. You can see the very same 'queen of the night' in daylight. Just as amazing.

Lesson for today: dont underestimate amadeus mozart. The genius of geniuses of classical opera.

Awesome!

No autotune here ;)

It's sad that so very many people just write off the classical music genre as boring without first at least sampling a bit. This recordings is one of my favorites, in fact, I use it as a ring tone for one of my daughters, the drama queen in the family. She is crazy scary in the roll, but the her character is scary and she is just magnificent while being malevolent. So anyway, if you want to sample the heavy metal of the classical genre, try this one from Boellmann: The first one is kind of the training wheels, sort of a fusion of metal and real metal: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oryDerV7zLexf4E.html And then there is the real thing. Do remember to crank the volume all the way up. The only problem with the real thing is, given the instrument being played, headphones just can't reproduce the lower notes correctly, not enough power or range. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a72dYNqEt7zPZXU.html There is so much more to explore in the classical music form, these are just a couple of selections. One other one in the fusion of metal the classical music is this one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL11oNaGzrepfIk.html

I'm speechless too!

Mozart was a genius. Diana's stabbing staccatos are CRAZY good! Interesting fact about this performance; although there are mics around the stage, her voice is not amplified meaning she's not wearing a mic. She just projected her voice over the orchestra.

Happy to discover your channel, and your reaction to QON. It's amazing! So, I shall subscribe. Cheers!

As others have said, simply stunning!

You guys are lovely. Can I make one little correction for future reference? The opera is called Magic Flute, the character's name is QUeen of the Night and this is her famous aria. YOur reactions are to die for.

This couple might enjoy another version of this song sung by 12 year Afghan refugee girl Sofia Asgari on KZfaq as "Holland's Got Talent 2013-Sofia Asgari". This type of singing is called coloratura soprano singing and was made famous by Mozart who when he was 15 and fell in love with and wrote music for coloratura soprano Anna De Amicis. Modern coloratura soprano Teodora Gheorghiu, who started as a flute player until age 14 when she discovered she could sing, made a CD of the greatest hits of Anna De Amicis which is previewed on KZfaq as "Teodora Gheorghiu, soprano-making of CD Anna de Amicis". My favorite tune from the CD is on KZfaq as "Tortorella abbandonata" which really shows off what a coloratura soprano can do where there are a lot of notes on the page.

I have seen many versions of this over the years and Diana Damrau's version is still by far the best. It helps that she is singing in her native language (German) but not many sopranos can reach and hit that top F. And do not forget, she singing this OVER the full orchestra (under the stage) whilst moving around in a heavy costume, acting and WITHOUT a microphone.

Forcing the knife into her daughter’s hand, then in the song commanding her to kill her father. Very powerful.

Great video guys

Try the "Barcarole" from Jacques Offenbach. Preferably the Version ofsung by Elina Garanca and Anna Netrebko.

you've just watched the best !

Not only she sang that extremely hard music, but also with german words...

You must hear 9 year old Victory Brinket sing this she is stunning

You stumbled upon a pretty decent performance. No imagine a singer of today trying to move around singing like that. With costume and no microphone.

diana damrau is THE queen of the night. period

The subplot to this aria and its prophetic qualities are beyond incredible. She represents the Empress of Austria-Hungary cursing her own people as represented by her own daughter. A curse that lasted for another 145 years and perhaps ended with the death of the most infamous Austrian of them all who died on the 30th of April 1945. Perhaps coincidentally Mozart was born only a few hundred yards from where Adolf Hitler was also born. Which is also very close to where the true story of The Sound of Music happened and the film was shot. This kinda puts a far more scary perspective on the piece, if it were not scary enough already.

You should have mentioned the singer’s name. It’s Diana Damrau.

The I felt the same way. I I know a couple that ARE opera singers!!🤯😟🤯😟

Imagine if they heard Christina Deutekom...wow

two words: "NO AUTOTUNE"

😂😂😂 y’all faces!! Lollll

Try watching the Commendatore Scene from Mozart's Don Giovanni. Male voices.

And she sings some really difficult bits while climbing/leaning on the bed!

The beauty of German language!

Mozart is when god decided to dpend some time on earth and compose done music

Christine deutekom still did my fave version!

Opera can be made into a movie. In 1984 Julia Migines showed how to bring Carmen to the silver screen in the KZfaq video entitled "Carmen-Habanera (with English subtitles and better quality)". The full two and a half hour movie is on KZfaq as "Carmen-opera filmed as movie" with a lot of great music. The famous Italian opera La Boheme has a compelling story and is on KZfaq as "Anna Netrebko-The Boheme Act I".

I Love is the music

I hope you also try Deutekoms version. Imo thats the best version ever..)) clear and sharp as diamond

YES.

And not to mention her “Martern aller Arten “ most difficult aria is phenomenal

Diana Damrau… ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please listen to Edita Gruberova - she was a famous Singer. By the way - to sing arias - you have to study classical singing a couple of years, have to train your vocal abilities - so if you ve trained in singing opera stuff you don't need a mic at all....the accoustic of opera houses or churches are constructed for this...

This is considered one of the most difficult arias for a woman to sing!

Be sure to watch this video! A very young girl sings the same aria. She is fantastic! - (Adelways Lay - The Magic Flute | Blind Auditions | The Voice Kids Indonesia Season 4 GTV 2021)

do more classical music

All opera Magic Flute is amazing, it is a little part

You should listen to Edda Moser’s recording😉

Please react to Largo Al Factotum as sung by Dmitri Hvorostovsky. It from the Barber of Seville. It is both impressive and amusing.

As the classical music station host says, “that’s what an angry soprano sounds like!”

Цікава реакція . Дивно,що вони не чули цього раніше десь в кіно, або на телебаченні.

End of the words... 🌿

top 10 hardest opera solos

"this is years of practice" - ymmd.. ^^

Diana Damrau is a wonderful singer, but my favourite renditions of this aria are by Rita Streich and Erika Koth.

A vary few can do that only, for a very few have even a body for that training, and it also breaks many

Sings better than any rapper
