@Ohioma That might have something to do with the fact that there's nothing funny about this aria...

I've been looking for this... for ages.

So this is the girl in 13G that's keeping Kristin Chenoweth up at night.

ahaha if two people were having this kind of fight while I was singing this song, I wouldn't be able to hit the high notes either--not to say that i can hit the high notes anyway. Guys. Kristin has a Masters in Opera, which means that she would of course have studied one of the most famous operas in the world--she's just acting. I'm sure if she was not able to hit the high notes or didn't understand this aria, she wouldn't have done it.

(After having read some of the comments:) I thought this was great fun. Okay, some disrespect to the original seriousness of the opera, but a great use of the repeated notes for comic gestures. And I say this as someone who is an opera purist. Didn't we used to enjoy the Bugs Bunny cartoons like "Wabbit of Seville" after all?
Too bad she and Madeline Kahn couldn't have done stuff together with their comedy and their singing. That would have been worth the price of admission.

OK. Seriously? I'm an Opera Singer, I know the Queen of the Night aria as any of us do, what it means, what she's supposed to sing and where. It's a TV show, of course they're using it out of context. They're using comedic timing for the high F's and high C's. And for many of the people commenting on this aria, I would LOVE to see half of you hit a high F while goofing around on a set. Chenowith's forte are character voices on Broadway. Leave it be and just either laugh or don't. She's fine.

@remyfacade ... you don't German either, dude.

I thought it was brilliant. I must say that it definitely had both comedy and opera elements, whether they "go together" or not. It works
Its true... no opera singer has such comedic flair
