Papagana here is one of my favorites!!! For a little woman she can really throw her voice!!!:-))Queen of the Night was not bad!!!!!!!!- as some have suggested!!!!
No one loves Classical music more than I do. That is why I want to protect it from productions like this that draw so heavily on the popular culture created by marketing and advertising.
There is nothing racist at all about Die Zuaberfloette. Black is used in its usually symbolic value of evil--it has nothing to do with people whose ancestors more recently came from Africa than others (don;t forget that everyone is descended from African immigrants).
I think you're mistaken about Monastatos--you must be thinking of Papageno--oh, and isn't he discriminating against the bird people?
Who is that black girl in the underskirt. She is the absolute ideal Engagement for the Papagena. I had to laugh when I saw her. Yeah, Papagena is a funny girl as Mozart intended, I suppose.
If you look down the page ,you will see your answer!! Christina Clark!!! She seems to do most of her work in Germany and the EU !!! Our loss - indeed!!!!!!!
Out of all the clips this one by far is my favorite. Christina Clark's voice is amamzing. They both have great chemistry. And I love it when she does the tango at the end of the song.
Yeah, I didn't like her very much either. The facial contortions during the high f's are totally un-necessary as well as extremely distracting. Although I wouldn't say that she sucks, though.
ohhh this i ca explain! her mouth opens wider because when you shift that highj into head voice sound comes out easier when your mouht is wider! xD and those Fs are a strain on everyone. thats no exageration. its very hard to sing them properly, so the facial contortions are really very neccesary.
...no the boys are from dortmund... i sang in dortmund at the chorakademie am konzerthaus dortmund... and it's very fantastic to se myself there singing...
Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's trading cards of musical instruments, including the flute.
oh, papageno und papagena sind so niedlich!!

The queen of the night was very bad. Simply she needs more practice. Papageno in some parts sounds like a tenor not like a baritone.

Why not just change it to rock music and get it over with?

Also, Die Zauberflöte is SUPER racist. It's not the interpretation. Monastatos ring any bells?

Uh... How about "Weil ein Schwarzer häßlich ist," and "Eine Weiße nahm mich ein,
Weiss ist schön!" Both lines from Monostatos. Maybe the slants on skin color are metaphorical, but I some how doubt it.

What a delight! New voices and new direction for Papageno and Papagena, very funny, but splendid voices.
