The role of the Queen of the Night, is famous for its difficulty. In ensembles, Mozart skillfully combined voices of different ability levels.

Translation of the Aria in English.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not through you feel
The pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned may you be forever,
Abandoned may you be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature,
If not through you
Sarastro becomes pale! (as death)
Hear, Gods of Revenge,
Hear a mother's oath!


A particularly demanding aria is the Queen of the Night's "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" ("The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart"), which reaches a high F6, rare in opera.

Diana Damrau was born in 1971 in Günzburg an der Donau, Bavaria, Germany and began her operatic studies with Carmen Hanganu at the Musikhochschule in Würzburg. After graduating from music conservatory she worked in Salzburg with Hanna Ludwig. Her first operatic engagements were in Würzburg and subsequently the Nationaltheater Mannheim and Oper Frankfurt. Since then, she has sung throughout the world at venues such as the Vienna State Opera, the Metropolitan Opera New York, Covent Garden, the Bavarian State Opera, Munich and the Salzburg Festival. She was invited to sing the title role in Antonio Salieri's Europa riconosciuta at the re-opening of La Scala, Milan in 2004, under the baton of Riccardo Muti.

Elena Mosuc (18 de enero de 1964) es una soprano rumana nacida en Iasi (Rumanía) famosa intérprete de la Reina de la noche en La flauta mágica de Mozart y del repertorio Bel canto italiano.

Estudió en la Universidad Popular de Arte y Canto así como en el Conservatorio George Enescu en Iasi. Antes de finalizar sus estudios debutó como solista en el teatro de la Ópera de su ciudad natal interpretando la Reina de la Noche, Lucia, Gilda y Violetta.
