  • wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen! :)

  • What a perfection is definitely one of the best. love her work !

  • Eine herrliche Aufnahme in so guter Qualität. Vielen Dank dafür!

  • wow. I've seen this performed live before in Liverpool. But this blew my mind. Diana Damrau absolutely nailed it.

  • Mozart was truly a genius, If you want to get into Opera this is the best one to start off with in my opinion

  • The best ever

  • is this Hitler's bird?

  • 2:10

  • That was fucking awesome.!

  • wow simply beautiful love watching it :)

  • sie singt und schauspielert sooo ausdrucksstark..das ist einfach unglaublich. ich muss zugeben ich lieebe die königin der nacht (auch wenn sie eig böse ist :))

  • @Sabberschnecke Sie ist nicht bose, Sie ist einfach 'n bischen enerviert.

  • As a fan of boy´s choirs and - specially - boy soloists I of course know the video with Robin Schlotz as the "Queen...". But nevertheless I prefer a female singer singing this aria !!!

    By the way: The aria begins at 2:10...:)

  • 嗯,应该是这样吧

  • 我覺得至少他詠嘆調時的轉音都是順暢的

    不像多數人的詠嘆轉音時都會有上氣不接下氣的感覺

  • @10229000 嗯,很完美的表演,果然是后肢體臉部表情跟聲音都很有氣勢

  • 0:15 Scared the sh#$ outta me!! She is amazing!

  • we need subs

  • Absolutely brilliant sung perfect pitch that evokes the true feelings behind what is being said.

  • 3:17-3:23 is sublime and awesome..well the whole thing is really but that's a piece that really slaps me in the face..in a good way

  • is it me or all of them are fat

  • Mozart should erase the rest of the opera and put this Aria 10 times

  • OMG...Geezuz

    How can she do this??

  • epic

  • OMG, this is great!

    

  • it´s amazing

  • Mozart's jaw would hit the ground had he lived to see this, sheer perfection!!

  • Can't get tired of this....

  • right now.....my speakers are on fire.....but I'm totally cool with that.....and you know EXACTLY why!!!!!!

  • I have transcripted and translated the text for you. Enjoy!

    (I am German, so at least the German part should be allright.)

  • Spoken text, part 1:

    Pamina: Mutter? … Mutter!

    [Mother?... Mother!]

    Mutter: Wo ist der Jüngling, den ich an dich sandte?

    [Where is the boy I sent to you?]

    Pamina: Oh, liebe Mutter, der ist der Welt und den Menschen auf ewig entzogen. Er hat sich den Eingeweihten gewidmet.

    [Oh dear mother, he is gone from this world and from humans forever. He has given himself to the Inaugurated.]

    Mutter: Den Eingeweihten?

    [The Inaugurated?]

  • Pamina: Ja.

    [Yes.]

    Mutter: Unglückliche Tochter! Nun bist du mir auf ewig entrissen.

    [Poor daughter! Now you are wrested away from me forever.]

    Pamina: Entrissen? Oh fliehen wir, liebe Mutter! Unter deinem Schutz trotz’ ich jeder Gefahr.

    [Wrested away? Oh let us flee, dear mother! Under your protection I can bear all danger.]

  • Mutter: Schutz? Mein liebes Kind! Deine Mutter kann dich nicht mehr schützen. Mit deines Vaters Tod ging meine Macht zu Grabe.

    [Protection? My dear child. Your mother can’t protect you any more. When your father died my power was buried too.]

    Pamina: Mein Vater….

    [My father…]

  • Mutter: Dein Vater übergab freiwillig den siebenfachen Sonnenkreis den Eingeweihten. Als ich ihn darüber beredete, sprach er: „Weib… Meine letzte Stunde ist da. Alle Schätze sind dein. Und deiner Tochter. Nur den siebenfachen Sonnenkreis wird Sarastro so männlich verwalten wie ich bisher. Forsche nicht nach Wesen, die dem weiblichen Geiste unbegreiflich sind. Deine Pflicht ist, dich und deine Tochter der Führung weiser Männer zu überlassen.“

  • [Your father gave the Sevenfold Circle of the Sun to the Inaugurates unsolicited. When I talked to him about that he said: “Women… My last minute has come. All treasures are for you. And for your daughter. But the Sevenfold Circle of the Sun will be hold in a male manner like I did before by Sarastro. Do not search for things that a female brain can not understand. Your duty is to surrender yourself and your daughter to the leadership of wise men.”]

  • Pamina: So ist der Jüngling auf ewig für mich verloren.

    [So the boy is lost forever for me.]

  • spoken text, last part:

    Mutter: Verloren! Siehst du diesen Stahl? Er ist für Sarastro geschliffen. Du wirst ihn töten und den mächtigen Sonnenkreis mir überliefern.

    [Lost! Do you see that iron? It was made for Sarastro. You will kill him and bring the powerful Circle of the Sun to me.]

    Pamina: Aber Mutter!

    [But mother!]

    Mutter: Kein Wort! Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen…. die Arie beginnt

    [No word! Hell’s vengeance boils in my heart… aria begins]

  • This is what music is about... this is Art this is why we do it.. to accomplish this... perfection, perfection

  • awesome!!!!!!

  • holy shit

  • German is awesome :D

  • In my opinion; What makes this performance by Diana Damrau so impressive, is that she doesn't just sing it well and struggle to act the part as others have. Diana looks, moves and projects the fury and menace of the Queen of Night down to her very eyeballs. The choice to shadow her eyes so was also excellent.

    I love it. I never really thought of the Queen of Night as a hottie before this. If they'd tried to make this sound more modern, it would have ruined it.

  • holy sh!$& man that is talent

  • I just watched the movie Eat Pray Love and this was one of the soundtracks. Wow! Mozart is!

  • She's brilliant. Can I see the whole opera online somewhere please?

  • It's a pity that I don't know german language, so I can understant what they say.

  • @Cartoonhero1989 : German text: Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen, Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her. Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr. Verstossen sei auf ewig, Verlassen sei auf ewig, Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig Alle Bande der Natur Wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen! Hört, Rachegötter, hört der Mutter Schwur! (=In my heart is the vengeance of hell. If you do not kill Sarastro, you are not my daugther any more. I swear!"

  • HIGH DEFINITION???? Omg, I think I just died a little. Whoever posted this should have monuments erected in their honour!!! I love Diana!!!!! :)

  • at 2:00 iI was like, "why don't you sing already? =.="

  • awesome voice!! is incredible!

  • She's beautiful and terrifying - Like a cobra about to strike! What a truly gorgeous performance!

  • Incredibly good.

  • I'm glad to add my voice for Diana Damrau's aria, but what's equally impressive is the superb dialogue, aided by the fact that these ladies are both German, and this extends into the silent act by Dorothea Röschmann while the aria is in progress. Not many opera singers have been as expressive when they're not at their own aria.

  • its just so wonderful and amazing

  • I've watched this video so many times in standar quality... Thank you for uploading such a piece of art in HD. I love Diana Damrau's vocals, I'm a huge fan of her interpretation as the queen of the night. I'm looking forward to buy the dvd now! She's just amazing!

  • totalmente INCREIBLE!!!

  • Best Queen of the Night costume ever.

  • I don't know if it was planned or spontaneous, but I love that just before she starts singing, she tilts her head down at an angle that accentuates that bitchin' evil headpiece! It makes her seem even more menacing right at that instant. Damrau rules!

  • There are so many of her singing this in youtube.. But everytime I see her I think Diana sing the queen again please!!!!! Only once... only for me!!!! You were so Great in the role...
