this is awesome. would u happen to know how I could purchase a copy of it?

[operafan1975]

It's only available on Region 2; I found it on amazon's UK site.

Petrova looks the same age as her "daughter"...that's a problem....She sounds great though and I can't believe that she sang the aria a half-step up. I don't think she'd have the voice to do that on stage though.

poor Pamina, that's not exactly a kind mother

What are u talkin 'bout...this is the best version of the queen of the night

@anybodyealse abusive victims almost always try to defend their abuser...especially if it's a parent or significant other...I actually like that she's abusive towards Pamina..it makes The Queen a more dangerous villain

Monostatos's aria fucking rules

So what if the aria is a half step higher? Range isn't everything in an aria. Acting on stage is a much harder job than in some movie. Some of these voices would never be able to carry over a full orchestra on stage. I question some of the pitches in this movie as well. It sounds like some were tampered with and not nearly as authentic as those like Diana Damrau. Watch the London Covent Garden's 2003 version with the Royal Opera House orchestra. Damrau even sings it in German, not English.
