Hmm...I'm rather tempted to have "Der Arme kann von Strafe sagen, denn seine Sprache ist dahin" tattooed on my left arm for personal reasons..

[Lilith89ibz]

@SilverPinions Sounds like a great tattoo to me! :)

Can you tell me the name of the sopranist that sings at 0:45? I am in lover with her voice!

[Lilith89ibz]

@SilenceTheQuiet She's a soprano... Her name is Gillian Webster, it's in the info.

[RubyDeWitt]

The Lady who sings mezzo-soprano has a really beautiful voice.

[Lilith89ibz]

@RubyDeWitt I believe that's Christine Rice you are talking about :) She is indeed fantastic.

This Third Lady is really scary. I have the DVD, and the whole time I thought she was a man in drag.

I got to sing 1st lady!! :D Man, it was fun...I got to molest Tamino :0

[SilenceTheQuiet]

@KatherineXIX LOL i thought the same thing:) hahahaha

[SilenceTheQuiet]

@Lilith89ibz Thank you so much!!! Her voice, and Damrau's are awesome.

[piratzrule]

@KatherineXIX christine rice is an incredible lol. but she does look a bit manish here :)

[Lilith89ibz]

@CarlMariaWeber No, sorry, I don't think that's fair to the artists. You can buy the DVD on amazon.

Man, I love the device of the servants coming up through the stage. It's used well the whole show, but getting those instruments in the ladies' hands halfway through a 5tet is always such a pain! Also, I gotta say, this girls do that otherworldly 3 knabchen music justice! What spin and diction and tuned vowels!
