@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.

This clip is what got me into opera in the first place :)

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.

Why is it always an ugly woman singing this..

@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.

Could someone please tell me what language this is sung in?

Perché sorride?? Astrofiammante è furiosa quando la canta!

@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.
