It would have been nice for posterity if they had used June Anderson herself on-screen, instead of just her voice, but perhaps she didn't look sufficiently Austrian. She's certainly at least as attractive Milada Cechalova, who is identified by IMDb as the person we see. By the way, apparently Ms. Chechalova is a Czech singer. I wonder if it was a post-production decision to dub in June?
oh come on now...this video should start a few seconds earlier in the movie..the way the movie presents that Mozart got the inspiration for this, when his mother-in-law (i think) was shouting at him...that was epic.
@R1colientje, look at the video "Diana Damrau as Queen of the Night II" She looks HELLISH but if you get past the evil appearance, you can see how beautiful she is. Just google image "Diana Damrau." June Anderson is beautiful, too! This is not her in this movie. She just provided the voice. That is an actress lip-synching in the Queen's costume.
@Fancyfrost It's in English. All songs but the ones from Marriage of Figaro and the Requiem are in English in this movie, I believe. June Anderson's diction isn't very clear in this song and it's hard to understand the words
in realtà mozart stava discretamente bene quando ha diretto la prima del flauto magico... ha cominciato a stare malissimo con la rappresentazione della clemenza.
I nearly cried when watching that part in the movie. It's so sad how much he works so hard and create such beautiful music that he ended up becoming sick.
@whatevr192 The producers wish to apologize most sincerely. Attempts at witchcraft to reanimate the late Herr Mozart proved fruitless. Instead of hiring a conductor to play Mozart they decided to go cheap and hire an actor.
What I'm think she's saying: Be my daughter nevermore Abandoned be forever Disowned be forever Destroyed be forever All bonds of kin and blood Um...something All bonds of kin and blood If not Through thee Sarastro's life be taken Hear Hear Hear God's of vengeance A mother's oath
And then you'll be my daughter nevermore. Disowned you'll be forever. Abandoned you'll be forever. Destroyed will be forever all the bonds of kin and blood....something...something...Hark! Hark! Haaaaaaark! Gods of vengeance, hear a mother's curse.
@vyturunen91 It was done in English because the director was trying to illustrate that Mozart had written the opera in the language of the common people, not in Italian. Since the dialogue of the film is in English, the clips from The Magic Flute as well as The Abduction from the Seraglio were sung in English translation. Yes, they would have been better (and more accurate) in German, but to an English-speaking audience that point would have been lost.
Mozart was not sick or dying in the last week of Sept 1791, when this opera premiered. He was sick and dying from Nov 18, 1791 - 2 months later. You might want to read my book, Echoes of a Distant Crime, to read what really happened. Still, this is a great aria.
@thais1954 The book just shows a theory. We don't know if the book is true. Most experts today believe that Mozart likely had complications from the strep throat. So on the one hand you have an unknown author who publishes a book (did she made conclusions from a painting???), on another - several researchers from the University of Amsterdam that analyzed data from Vienna's death registry and found more than 500 people had similar symptoms.
No, "catholic" with a small "c" - meaning "universal." I like all kinds of music. I grew up listening to rock and I still listen to it, although much of the time it's classics, especially baroque. I admit that I don't appreciate jazz as much as I ought to. (Be patient with me, Sachmo!) You Raise Me Up by Celtic Woman - corny but I like it anyway. My one request is, listen to Purcell's 'O fair Cedaria' on You Tube.

Right,so I'm entitled to say something:It is awfully obvious that the actress doesn't sing it -they could have at least taught her how to look like you're singing.I can't imagine how could anyone sing even an octave lower and look like this and move with your neck like this and open your mouth like this. Anyway,June Anderson sings this pretty good but I like Gruberova's Queen of the Night better.She sings it lighter clearer.There were moments when anderson was a tiny little off (don't kill me:)
Yes, she is. But for the purpose of a movie this scene is much more spectacular, don´t you think? This movie is not a document but piece of art, my dear ..
And this is also an answer to 905118´s comment .. ;)
@ZenPapageno You're right, but this wasn't a full performance. This was just a one-off performance for the masses. Mozart's greatest hits if you like.
@TheFestivelights I know everybody feels that way, but I like the first aria better. I like the change in moods when the Queen goes from grief to telling the prince that he can rescue her daughter. I wonder if just maybe it's the difficulty of singing the second aria that always gets it the raves. I dunno.
@ZenPapageno Yes, there's some truth in that.The one Mozart piece that really leaves me speechless, The Jupiter Symphony, 2nd movement. Stunning. I remember when I was doing a bit of traveling and I gave my Walkman to a very beautiful Swiss lady that I'm met. We were sitting watching the sunset at the highest point on the Island of Koh Pee Pee in Thailand.I played this for her and she was blown away. Said it went perfectly with the sunset. Special moments. Have you seen BBC's Mozart documentary?
@TheFestivelights I'll see it if I can. My tastes are somewhat catholic. It wasn't till recently that I discovered Purcell. I now regard him as one of the truly great composers. I'm amazed that he's not better known, but then I live in the US, not the UK, where he might be more popular. Fairy Queen! Oh fair Cedaria!
@ZenPapageno Well I'm not Catholic, although I do work in a Catholic school so I get to hear Catholic music from time to time and they have wrote some beauties over the years. I'd be interested to hear what you think about a few gems I've discovered on you Tube recently. Search for 1) Celtic Woman Ave Maria(Just stunning and in my mind the best version of this classic) 2) Mozart Ave Verum Corpus por Leonard Bernstein(I read that it's the greatest choral work ever written). Cheers.
@TheFestivelights No, "catholic" with a small "c" - meaning "universal." I like all kinds of music. I grew up listening to rock and I still listen to it, although much of the time it's classics, especially baroque. I admit that I don't appreciate jazz as much as I ought to.

@nevimzevim she is good but...not really man, have to disagree and not because i want to be right, just listen to them both and u will see why, another one who could have rocked this part is even Edita Gruberova, listen to the same piece by the tree of them, u will see the difference.
I'm not keen on the film, or the play, but I love the few seconds following 1:00 when you can see Salieri thinking "I'm going to give up and go home".
I used to be dismissive of movie versions of books I read; they are never 100% true to the books. But they can still be great movies!
It sounds wrong to you guys because you know it in the original German, or maybe because you feel it isn't true to the original. You don't feel the beauty many of the rest of us feel.
@lancetop - i think that this is one of the very best aria's ever written for sure. can you imagine if the man lived longer? such a shame he died so young -
I do not like Mozart at all but is because I prefer Baroque music, but this guy was smart. Although this movie was grossly wrong and should never be taken as fact. But this is the only aria I like and his other composition of Requiem Lacrimosa…
@Meskiagkasher You're right! I don't speak german but I noticed something was very wrong with the lyrics she was singing! It is in english!!!!! That's sad!!!
I just saw Julie Taymor's production at the Met last night--abridged 110 minute version--brilliant theatrics & beautifully sung--Nathan Gunn as Papageno.
@EFIG6415 Maybe because she was the first one I heard, I hear the most beauty in her version.
Her staccato notes aren't as good as some,. Her voice isn't as coloratura-like, and I like it better (not as much vibrato on each note). Her voice is rich and beautiful. I think the part from 1:08 to 1:20 could never be done better.
People always talk about Lucia Popp being one of the greatest of all time.
@SOAPSHOWERmusic - You talk bullshit crap. It's an English language film. Taken your argument to its logical conclusion, the whole film should be in German, in which case it will need German speaking actors and then subtitles, and then it wouldn't be the success that it was. There were never any puritanical complaints when the Beatles sang 'She Loves You' and 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' in German.
I love watching "Mozart" conducting the orchestra. You can feel warmth from the actress portraying the Queen and the singer but you feel HEAT watching "Mozart" conducting the orchestra.
I'm sorry haters! JUNE OWNS THIS SONG! Her voice (not the actress in the movie, or the singer on the soundtrack) appeals to the classical AND the non classical ear simultaneously! THAT my fellow humans, is called TALENT! I've never heard another singer accompish this as June can. June can sing high, full, and sweetly, AT THE SAME TIME! This makes makes all the difference. She doesn't get all tinny in the ethers! Brat nowithstanding, God bless Wolfgang for giving us this music!
@mozartoper That is the right name for this piece, but Dnahwols said in an earlier comment that it is the wrong scene to the piece, which I think is correct. In "Der Holle Rache", the Queen of Night is telling Pamina to kill someone. In any performance I've seen she is following her around with the knife that she is to use. I think "O Zittre Nicht" is the correct piece to this particular scene because there is always a moon behind her. (Thanks, Dnahwols, by the way!)
Sometimes i stop and think...was Mozart a real person?? Can a Human create something as beautiful as this? it just sounds like something out of this world.
All through the video i was like "What is she singing? Those are not the lyrics" Then at the end i heard gods of vengeance and realized it was in English lol
@dillonfreed I find myself thinking that all the time, that it would suck to only be able to hear this im concert. Although I bet it made the experience all the more amazing, knowing that it was so fleeting.
it's sound a little bit strange, because it's in english (but all opera pieces are sung in english in this movie [great movie!!]). I don't know what she's singing, but it's strange because I have the german lyrics in my mind...XD
@Dnahwols This is the scenery to the Queen's first aria in Act one. Also, Pamina is missing, with Monastatos waiting in the wings watching everything. Still... great staging.

I love watching "Mozart" conducting the orchestra. You can feel warmth from the actress portraying the Queen and the singer but you feel HEAT watching "Mozart" conducting the orchestra.

I'm sorry haters! JUNE OWNS THIS SONG! Her voice (not the actress in the movie, or the singer on the soundtrack) appeals to the classical AND the non classical ear simultaneously! THAT my fellow humans, is called TALENT! I've never heard another singer accompish this as June can. June can sing high, full, and sweetly, AT THE SAME TIME! This makes makes all the difference. She doesn't get all tinny in the ethers! Brat nowithstanding, God bless Wolfgang for giving us this music!

She's too happy and cheery to be telling her daughter to kill someone. Nice voice but off character.

I believe this is "der holle rache," "o zittre nicht" is the queen's gorgeous first aria, sung to tamino :)
mozartoper 1 year ago
@mozartoper That is the right name for this piece, but Dnahwols said in an earlier comment that it is the wrong scene to the piece, which I think is correct. In "Der Holle Rache", the Queen of Night is telling Pamina to kill someone. In any performance I've seen she is following her around with the knife that she is to use. I think "O Zittre Nicht" is the correct piece to this particular scene because there is always a moon behind her. (Thanks, Dnahwols, by the way!)

It sounds pretty fine, but I prefer the aria to be sung by Maria Callas.

@TheSacredCapitalism You must be mistaken, Callas never sang the queen of the night.

@tenor220 No, she actually did. But maybe we are talking about different arias.

Yes, Mozart was amazing. But he never had to try to sing this bad boy. I'm in awe of anyone who can hit those notes. Crazy.

@dillonfreed I find myself thinking that all the time, that it would suck to only be able to hear this im concert. Although I bet it made the experience all the more amazing, knowing that it was so fleeting.

it's sound a little bit strange, because it's in english (but all opera pieces are sung in english in this movie [great movie!!]). I don't know what she's singing, but it's strange because I have the german lyrics in my mind...XD
Hört, Rachegötter! Hört der Mutter Schwur!

Wrong aria to this scene. Great movie though!

@Dnahwols This is the scenery to the Queen's first aria in Act one. Also, Pamina is missing, with Monastatos waiting in the wings watching everything. Still... great staging.
